‘Acadie:Raw’ is the debut solo project from Australian singer, producer, songwriter and poet Allysha Joy. Maybe best known for her work with Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70 there’s a cool about this album that draws on many facets and influences from soul, jazz and hip hop. The feel of ‘Selfish’, ‘Honesty’ and ‘Eagle’ have that hip hop tempo in effect with Allysha’s smoky vocals giving a jazz feel to the tracks, the frantic, rapid fire ‘Know Your Power’ is a big, brusque uptempo number while the dreamy ‘Akala’ is allowed room to grow and slowly unfold. The jazz club vibe of ‘Enate’ is drenched in atmosphere, ‘Fnfl’ has an ever shifting tempo while ‘Swallow Me’ has an African feel, particularly in the drums and almost chanted vocals. Great debut set.
