After the release of (2017), Obaro Ejimiwe aka Ghostpoet opened a coffee shop with a small stage in Margate, UK. In addition, he set to work on his fifth album, which he wrote and produced all by himself. Despite his successful life, a big dark cloud hangs over this album. The Brit has to get rid of his anger somewhere. Fear, depression and social criticism predominate and that is also in line with
… Dark Days + Canapés. The comparison with Massive Attack is again inevitable. The viscous sound and female guest appearances hint that Ejimiwe is clearly inspired by them. Ghostpoet's universe is even more shadowy though, so get ready for that when you start on this record. (JvQ)more
