Compared to his previous albums, “Good for You” and “ONEPOINTFIVE,” Aminé once again delivers the perfect balance of melancholic self-reflection and energetic melodies, making “Limbo” another series of bangers. Aminé comes through with a one-of-a-kind tracklist that still hints at his original sound. The eclectic nature of the album works in its favor and keeps listeners excited for the next song. “Limbo” ultimately channels a Tyler, the Creator turned J. The rhythmic beats of Jackson paired with the clever lyrics of West and Shakur are evident in Aminé’s style.Īside from the funky beats and poignant lyrics, “Limbo” is unlike any other album released by Aminé. Aminé has previously credited performers Michael Jackson, Shakur and Kanye West as his musical inspiration. The Weeknd’s Transformation From Toxic Lover to Introspective Storytellerīehind Aminé’s colorful beats and expressive lyrics are hip-hop and R&B artists who inspired his diverse sound.
Another personal favorite song of mine on the album is “Riri.” The melody is insanely catchy and will have you rewinding the song just to hear the chorus again. The music video for the song is a reminder of Aminé’s cinematic talent that helped him create the music video for “Caroline” himself. Looking back on the heartbreak he caused when he was younger shows Aminé’s growth in the realm of relationships. The lyrics reminisce about old flames that were squandered because of infidelity. Like “Pressure in My Palms,” the song “Compensating,” featuring Young Thug, was another instant hit. Notably, Aminé transitions seamlessly between each song on the album.
The features from Vince Staples and slowthai complement the beat nicely without overshadowing Aminé’s lyrical delivery. Lyrics like, “I got more pressure in my palms than Arthur,” which references a meme featuring the titular cartoon anteater, capture the witty and boastful theme of the song. “Pressure in My Palms” starts out with a bass-heavy beat and switches halfway to more laid back instrumentation. Throughout the album, Aminé incorporates varied samples, multiple features and melodic instrumentals making each song a versatile piece of the puzzle he creates. In “Kobe,” a sad tribute to the late Kobe Bryant, the rapper laments: “He died and I feel like…a lot of my innocence, in…being a young person died with Kobe…and now…I’m like let me figure out how money works…let me figure how…to buy a house…I felt like a piece of my childhood go…” Since then, he has released a mixtape titled “ONEPOINTFIVE” and his latest studio album, “Limbo.” “Limbo” combines strident beats with reflective lyrics to create an album that marks a turning point in Aminé’s career.Īminé’s earlier hits like “Spice Girl,” “Reel It In” and “Red Mercedes” have an unmistakably youthful, hip-hop vibe however, “Limbo” demonstrates Aminé’s transition to a stylistic and lyrical maturity. This song was the first viral hit from the Portland native, Adam Aminé Daniel, otherwise known as Aminé.
You and your gang instantly chime in on the iconic opening lyrics, and everything is right in the world. Picture this: It’s spring break of 2016, you’re laying out by the beach with your friends and the song “Caroline” by Aminé comes on the speaker.
