We have another album from Slow Chemical, and this one is almost like a continuation of The Uninvited Guest, signaling a new chapter for him musically and showcasing his new perspective after his journey on the previous album. With this genre-blending style, he takes us on yet another journey with him into a new horizon with the album Go West.

Track Highlights

The songs that stood out to me on Go West were:

• “Under Pressure” – This is one of the more intense songs on this album. He raps with confidence and hunger – I can respect that! “May the bridges I’ve burned light the way!”
• “Above The Law” – This was interesting. Slow Chemical really took time to lay out a story here, which I really appreciated. The beat also adds a sinister element to it, bringing the entire tale together.
• “Time Is Of The Essence” – This song has a cool, casual feel to it. However, despite this laid-back feel, the message is clear: don’t waste your time out here – make every moment and opportunity count cause it may not come back around again.

Slow Chemical keeps his signature style consistent, but I love how he commits to telling a story and staying within that theme, even when he’s playing with different genres and styles. That’s the kind of art I appreciate.

Final Thoughts

If you enjoyed The Uninvited Guest, I think you’ll enjoy Go West. As I mentioned earlier, I believe it’s a great follow-up, and it showcases his growth well. If you love music artists who aren’t limited to one specific genre and intentional lyrics, this is definitely an album to check out for yourself.
