Trentemøller - African People

Review by Ian Wheeler

African People, the latest album by Danish musician Trentemøller, is a captivating blend of electronic and African-inspired sounds. The album is a departure from his previous work, which often featured melancholic and introspective tracks. Instead, African People is a celebration of African rhythms and melodies, woven together with Trentemøller's signature electronic beats.

The album opens with the track "Anamay," featuring a pulsating beat and hypnotic vocals that immediately transport the listener to a different world. The following tracks, "Ungdomskulen" and "Ungdomskulen II," are more upbeat and feature complex arrangements that showcase Trentemøller's production skills.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "In the Garden," a haunting and atmospheric piece that blends African percussion with ethereal vocals. "Meadows" is another highlight, with its catchy melody and driving beat that will get listeners moving.

Summary by Ian Wheeler

African People is a masterful fusion of electronic and African music that showcases Trentemøller's versatility as a musician. The album is a must-listen for fans of world music and electronic music alike.
