Fertile Ground - Perception
Review by Riki Andrés Pascual
Fertile Ground's latest album, Perception, is a soulful and introspective journey through the band's signature blend of jazz, soul, and world music. The album's 12 tracks showcase the band's musicianship and versatility, with lush arrangements, intricate rhythms, and powerful vocals.
From the opening track, "Be Natural," with its groovy bassline and uplifting lyrics, to the haunting ballad "Soulmates," Perception takes the listener on a sonic adventure. The album's standout track, "Black Is," is a powerful social commentary on the Black Lives Matter movement, with poignant lyrics and a driving beat.
Throughout the album, lead vocalist Navasha Daya's soulful voice shines, backed by the tight instrumentation of the band. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track clearly defined and balanced.
