Its funky bass drives the tune as the rest of the group adds to the retro vibe. The album continues on and we get “Episode,” the 80’s style slow dance. “Bone + Tissue,” “Counting” and “Percogesic” are some of the other more lyrically deep songs of “Ology.”
“With burns on the back of my palms/Will I regret my cause? Or revel in my thoughts?/I’m caught in the winds of remorse,” he questions as he reaches the chorus. “Shotgun” also shows off his deep, poetic lyrics. It has an orchestral basis with a beautiful piano and striking brass. “Talking to Myself” effortlessly flows into “Shotgun.” This is one of his more toned down songs, which isn’t saying much. It’s one of my favorite songs on the album and really sets a high bar, which he definitely hits.
“Earthbound and scatter-brained/Can I thrive on pocket change?/I’ve been talking to myself lately, ooh,” he sings over the bulging background. Striking drums, screaming saxophones and swooshing synths build this eclectic song. Starting out the album, “Talking to Myself” brings a powerful beginning. His impressive falsetto and sultry sound add power and emotion to each song. However, it’s Gallant’s voice that is the glue that holds the album together. “Ology” has many tones, from the 80’s dance-pop and disco of “Episode,” to the wobbly modern synths of “Open Up,” so it may be exhausting trying to find a melding element between some of the songs. From somber to sexy, this is one of the strongest albums of the year so far. In this album, Gallant’s voice takes you on a journey through his deepest insecurities. 0 Shares Gallant recently released his debut album, “Ology.” Photo courtesy of .Īre you one of the many people fed up with Frank Ocean and the fact that he hasn’t released his new album yet?
