Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones

This is a unique project from Aceyalone and his new band, the Lonely Ones.

It's a hip-hop album, but one steeped heavily in a much older era of R'n'B when the bands were live, and the music swung. Acey raps over some energetic music, backed by talented back-up singers. The music here is a lot of fun, and comes off sounding both completely modern and timeless.

It's a very different project from his work with Rjd2, and I'm not sure what I prefer. This is still very recognizably Aceyalone, but with a newer, fresher perspective that I enjoy very much.
