Ian Pooley, the composer, the producer, the man behind many musical creations, embarks on another journey with his new artist album creation In Other Words. Think jazzy, think meaty beats, think atmospheric, think progressive, what ever you chose to think, you will not be able to deny the powerful blend of soul, nu disco, jazz and the blues. Stylish and serene, In other words brings together a compelling case of why Ian Pooley’s latest offering on the table provides both a captivating and vibrant appeal with musical prestige and sophisticated flavours.

As the album opens up to the exuberance captured throughout the entire track listing, one attribute remains consistent. That’s of course the unique style of Ian Pooley. From the opening of Intro, to the beat-filled touch of 5 am to the more pop influenced It’s You, the delicate flavoursome tracks mend together producing an aural pleasure that can only be mimicked by only a few other producers in dance music. Due care has been taken on all the tracks to perfectly compliment the overall vibe of the album. Personally the track, Steppin’ Out with its hip-hop lyrics infused in a strong soulful twist was the most enjoyable track, oozing style and undeniable creativeness to suffice your aural senses.

Whether it’s the Brazilian influenced percussion of Maestral, or the hip-hop infused track of The Hippest Hip, or even Learn there’s always a creative vibe that oozes from the multiple facets of the album. As Ian Pooley takes you on a journey through an eclectic series of tracks that mesmerises and enriches, it’s not hard to see why there’s been so much acclaim around his productions. It then winds up with the softer touch of Closer which appropriately closes the album, and leaves a lingering taste, which is the true essence of any memorable album.

In Other Words is definitely one of the most solidly produced albums of this year, capturing the true essence of compelling music and allowing for a great listening experience.
