P-Money - Gratitude Album Review

04 Jun 2013 // A review by Peter-James Dries

He’s arguably this country’s biggest DJ and producer. Metallers, Rappers, Popsters and pretty much anyone that’s listened to mainstream music in the past ten years know his stage name.

And if by some strange twist of fate you’ve never heard of P-Money, you only need to look at last week’s album of the week on half this nation’s radio stations. 

Gratitude is out now, and although made with and for a mainly American audience, the latest record from hip-hop’s prodigal son is making waves here at home. 

With a leg long list of American all-star collaborators, Gratitude also features our own @peace and New Zealand’s sweetheart Aaradhna, whose latest album, Treble & Reverb, was produced by P-Money himself.

Be he like a fine wine refined with age, or perhaps influenced by American grapes, compared to some of P-Money’s earlier chart climbing singles, Gratitude has a more mature, refined sound.  A modernisation of Motown, and Lounge music. A soundtrack to an upper class haven for cigar smokers and slow dancers. 

You can find Gratitude, and all of P-Money’s previous releases for download or streaming on P-Money’s Bandcamp.  Want to say thank you to P-Money for Gratitude? Well P-Money will be back touring in New Zealand from June 14th, starting in Wellington and ending in Christchurch on the 21st

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.

The New Existentialists - Single Review: Invocation
16 Jul 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
The New Existentialists, a doom metal band known for their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, have just… Wait a minute… No. The New Existentialists are really not a doom metal band, and they’re really not known for their dark soundscapes… They’re more known as stalwarts of a bygone era.

Samuel Philip Cooper - Album Review: Journey to Sobriety
01 Jun 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
Samuel Philip Cooper sits on the brink of social media stardom, with videos of his belting out pop music piano covers from behind a pair of thick spectacles racking up views and likes on Insta. Little do any of the mindless doom scrollers swiping through his reels know, but percolating behind his eye brows is the very key to their very salvation.
