Album Review: We Rewind by Flore Feat Rodney P
Alright, so I’ve been jamming to We Rewind by Flore Feat Rodney P, and lemme tell ya, this thing slaps. It’s one of those albums that just feels alive, y’know? The genre's electronic with a breaks style, which means it’s got that head-nodding rhythm that makes you wanna move even when you’re just chilling on the couch. Released under Botchit & Scarper, it’s got grit and groove in all the right places.
Let’s talk tracks. First up, “We Rewind (Original).” Man, this is the kind of tune that grabs your attention from the jump. Rodney P’s flow is smooth as butter over Flore’s beats, which are punchy but not overwhelming. There’s this little synth riff that keeps looping in the background—it’s simple, but damn if it doesn’t stick in your brain for hours after listening. Like, you’ll catch yourself humming it while waiting for your coffee or something. And Rodney’s lyrics? Super sharp. He’s dropping bars about life, time, and keeping it real without ever sounding preachy. Props to him for that.
Then there’s “The Test (Instrumental).” This track is pure vibes. No vocals here, just layers of sound building up into this hypnotic beat fest. What really gets me is how they use these tiny percussive hits—they’re like little surprises scattered throughout the track. You think you’ve got it figured out, then BAM, another layer drops in. It’s sneaky good. Plus, it’s versatile—you could play this at a party or throw it on during a late-night drive, and it works either way. That’s the mark of a solid instrumental track, innit?
Oh, and can we talk about the Club Mix of “We Rewind”? Yeah, it’s exactly what you’d hope for—amped-up energy, bigger drops, and more bounce. Perfect for when you need that extra push to get hyped. But honestly, even though it’s great, it doesn’t hit quite as hard as the original version. Sometimes less really is more.
So yeah, overall, We Rewind is a banger. It’s not trying too hard to be anything other than what it is—a killer collection of breaks tunes with personality. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much going in, but now I’m kinda obsessed. Kinda makes me wonder why more people aren’t talking about Flore and Rodney P. Maybe they’re too busy vibing to spread the word? Either way, check this album out if you dig breaks music or just wanna hear something fresh.
Random thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably be the cool older sibling who always knows where the best parties are. Just saying.
