Confucius MC - Somewhere (Album)

Confucius MC makes a welcome return to the fore with an invitation to join him ‘Somewhere’. Not a specific location in the physical realm, but a state of mind where your inner self can find sanctuary and solace.

The unadulterated jazz strains of the opening instrumental set the scene perfectly. Following on from the success of his previous ventures with Keor Meteor, Confucius has once again teamed up with the French producer behind his 2014 LP ‘The Highest Order’. Keor’s jazz-heavy approach serves as the ideal foundation for the depth of Confucius’s bars, resulting in a broad exploration of the union between conscious thought and rhythmic sound.

Their creative partnership is a testament to the virtues of the modern world. The fact that the duo have yet to meet in real life has not prevented them from striking upon a musical symbiosis that some artists never manage to capture. “Believe it or not me and Keor have never met in person, but have been communicating and collaborating for over a decade now, and I consider him a brother".
