Right at the start we get to hear the new sound Lupe Fiascos. Although "Letting Go" has a relaxed thoughtful touch that we already know of his older albums ago, but this track is designed here essentially electronic, which initially may be somewhat disconcerting to come off, but you get used to it quickly. Also "Words I Never Said" has a strong synthesizer & Co. embossed style, this is a powerful drum that well accompanies the spicy content, in the magnifying glass leaves out about the internal situation of the USA added, is then a bombastic chorus, sung by Skylar Grey. After this rousing prelude it leaves the 29-year-old MC tackle with "Till I Get There" something casual. The instrumental relies on restrained piano melodies, then, is the complete opposite to the previous tracks and is somewhat reminiscent of his debut album. Trey Songz brings a touch of R & B in the otherwise very jazzy love song "Out Of My Head", which, for others but is certainly a bit cheesy for some, a catchy tune. Followed is that of the already longer known single "The Show Goes On", which a few months ago announced us the style change of Lupe Fiasco. Unlike his other music of this piece is very focused on the charts, but also absolute mainstream Hater must admit that the flow as always comes really good, and the chorus simply firmly bites the ear.
The second half of the album is with "Beautiful Lasers (2 Ways)" (feat. MDMA), which is expected before the oblique tones of the electronics is replete with this title, initiated. After it went with another radio-friendly, summer hit called "Coming Up" (feat. MDMA), we enjoy the almost contradictory "State Run Radio", which deals guaranteed with the current ironed sound, the Airplay. Fits to the piece waits with crashing guitar riffs and many vocals by Matt Mahaffey. A really serious difference to other radio music, there are not, the piece is entertaining but all. Before "LASERS" with the very soulful held "Never Forget You", in which also John Legend is its buttery soft voice for good, fades, says Lupe with "All Black Everything" predicament for centuries position of African Americans, but is rather as thoughtful rapporteurs, rather than be seen as an aggressive prosecutor. And although the track quite plain and acts prudently compared to most of the rest of the album, it is still one of the most emotional highlights of a thoroughly successful work.
"Lasers" is definitely different from its predecessors, at least as regards the sound. Lupe, however, it creates unchanged with clever rhymes about everyday or serious things of life to draw the listener into his spell and thus still dominating the partly powerful beats. Although many currently say that electro hip hop has no place, it should be "Lasers" a chance for the usual and dull porridge has Lupe Fiasco still doing nothing.
