Paji, the multi-talented artist and composer with 16 million views on YouTube, has just released his new self-titled album. It is a masterpiece of what is possible when an artist does not set limits and embraces electronic and classical instruments.
In an incredibly spiritual and soul-wrenching approach, Paji’s self-titled Deep House album is both thrilling and dramatic in its delivery. The opening track “Oraman” sets the tone of things to come. Its celebratory nature indicates that the listener will embark upon a voyage of discovery and enjoy every minute of the ride.
“Seaside” feat. Thomasiom provides a twist on the classic Techno beat as it employs a lovely background featuring classical percussive and string instruments providing depth and fantasy. All-encompassing in its arrangement, this track omits nothing and leaves you fulfilled. “Overtime” featuring Wonderful Bones is a pensive and reflective track that presents a story with elements of exploration and time travel. The ponderance of what happened to our love is addressed and the waves of chords play along as time sequences in our lives. Wonderful Bones’ lyrics sing a lullaby as we are hypnotized by his sweet voice. In “Virtue” Paji creates an arena styled Techno melody with psychedelic tones. The driving sequences are tangible as we are transported with him floating on heavily produced synthesizer chords. Paji brings it home with a classic percussive beat layering the track perfectly.
“Wild Flowers” evokes a Country music sequence and is transitional with its heavy string and high pitched synth harmonies. The playful fiddle takes the lead in this uniquely configured orchestral track. “Salt” again features Wonderful Bones and the deep piano chords accompanied by fantastic synth create a digital and analog duet that is mesmerizing. As Wonderful Bones’ lyrics start, he provides a sound that is lulling and soothing.
“The Old Gods” (remastered) is a tropical Techno tune that has a Miami feel with its cinematic themes and Liberace style piano progressions. “Intoku” featuring Namito feels tribal in its beats bringing you to another land and culture with its deliberately spaced rhythms. A romantic string plays in the background seducing you with its charms. “Raw Water” featuring Tube & Berger provides a delightful percussive combination with drums and electronic sounds.
This album shows the unlimited possibilities when Electronic Dance Music is supplemented with classical instruments and talented artists. What comes about is a fruitful collaboration that cultivates ever-changing and growing dimensions in music. Intended for your listening pleasure, the rapture of the album is its message. What Paji has managed to do is create an instant classic in the Electronic Dance Music world.
