Album Review: Blaze – “Exposed”

Blaze – “Exposed”
Released: 2011

[xrr rating=7.69/10]

“EXPOSED” showcase’s a well-rounded musical approach which masterfully uses variables from old school soulful – hip hop – dance – to rock music. While Blaze is known for presenting music that has a universal sound, her most appreciative quality, is that her songs always offer the message of individual choice and responsibility. This has proven to be an important factor that makes her music an easy appeal to any crowd, no matter their musical tastes, background, or age.

Features on the album include: PRo, Michelle Bonilla, Chris Lee Cobbins, Kelly Kelz, Willie Will, and Jazz Digga.

Music Production from PRo and Tony Stone ensures that you find quality compositions across the album, and Blaze seasons and salts the menu with her style of rapping on top of it.

As soon as I stuck this disc in the player I was immediately sucked into the first track, “Holy” (Featuring PRo); which also proved itself to be my favorite track on the entire CD because Blaze parades slamming verses while PRo kills the hook.

“Do Something”, “I Got it” (Featuring PRo & Chris Lee Cobbins), and “Christ On High” (Featuring Tony Stone) were the other runner ups for best tracks on this album. The various styles present on the album definitely provide a little bit of content for nearly everybody.

The quality of the mix was good. The quality of the production was fantastic. There was confidence behind the microphone from Blaze and the information was relevant. This is a well-rounded and well-done album. It is also a well thought out and fantastically planned album release.
