Review: Küf Knotz & Christine Elise - Inner G / Clean (Independent)

Here's the latest from Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, 'Inner G' / 'Clean', check it out here.

Following on from their incredible run of singles, starting with 'Hypnagogia' (see review HERE), 'Yü' / 'Cascade' (see review HERE) and thir last single that featured Christine's vocals on the two tracks, 'Somewhere' and 'Patience' (see review HERE) so you're getting the idea that .this combo of a couple are above average with R&B flava, conscious hip-hop soul and with 'Clean', dare I say pop?

'Inner G' is more of a 3G prayer with MCs Knotz, Philly's Boogieman Dela and Shad from London as we all look more to an inner peace and spirituality.

And we're getting closer to the release of their fourth album called 'Grow' so expect to start getting to know these guys more and more as their brand of cross-over radio friendly tracks take hold and bloom this summer.

Review: Küf Knotz & Christine Elise - Yü / Cascade (Independent)

Whether it's Amanda Whiting's harp countdown to Christmas or Yoga & Harp at this years' London Jazz Festival, the harp keeps making a come back from the untrendy wilderness of the old days.

And we already know from Küf Knotz and Christine Elise's 'Hypnagogia' (see review HERE) that this duo know how to use it in the almost unheard of area of hip-hop/beats culture - apart from samples of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby that is

And on 'Cascade', "we proceed, and continue" with some jazzy consious hip-hop which isn't as harpy (Ed. that's not a word?) as 'Yü' that's very radio friendly and full of positivity and self-awareness.

Küf Knotz (Producer/MC) and Christine Elise (Harpist/Vocalist) definitely have a uniquely individual blend of hip-hop, soul and classical/jazz heritage that they can transpose from 'golden era' 90s to today and this release is proof of their growth.
