Diggy-MO’ – Arcadia November 24, 2009

Track Listing

1. Arcadia
2. Drifting Away
3. LOVE KILLS DREAM KILLS

1. Arcadia

I really like the beats and strings that opened up Arcadia.  It definitely has this feel to it, like it has the feeling of like being in a castle.  Now, I’m still trying to get used to his more nasally set of vocals and the times he says ~arcadia~ is pretty disturbing, the song is a whole lot better than his last one for sure.  He struggles with parts of the song, but it’s nice otherwise.

2. Drifting Away

I was pretty scared getting into this song because it sounded so western (i mean like cowboys & such).  We’re back into Diggy rapping himself along the song and IMO is kind of failing hard because it feels that it should’ve been an interlude more than anything else.  It’s very bad, down to being excrutiatingly horrible.  PASS HARDCORE.

3. LOVE KILLS DREAM KILLS

Just like his last single, the 2nd B-side is more electro based and LKDK definitely fills that bill.  Diggy is rapping in a deeper tone and it works with the almsot barren arrangement, though it fills up with extra synths and xylophone.  It’s more than likely the best song I’ve heard from him since adding him to the site so that wins.

 

 

Clearly, Arcadia was a definite step from “ToMiTaMi ToMiTaMo”.  Arcadia & LOVE KILLS DREAM KILLS were definitely better produced and a whole lot more interesting than the stuff on the last single minus “PSYCHE PSYCHE”.  However, it’s biggest blow was the uber terrible Drifting Away…rap and country do not mix, period!

Diggy-MO’ – ToMiTaMi ToMiTaMo September 6, 2009

Track Listing

1. ToMiTaMi ToMiTaMo
2. Bayside Serenade
3. PSYCHE PSYCHE

1. ToMiTaMi ToMiTaMo

OH, this an interesting song for sure.  I mean it has a lively brass arrangement and mixing with Diggy-MO’s voice is strange.  His rapping is very heavy to the beat, and there’s this other voice that sound like a little child’s that annoys me.  After that, I’m lead back into Diggy’s rapping and it’s fast and while he doesn’t change tone much, it’s interesting to hear what he’s trying to say.

2. Bayside Serenade

First of the B-sides, Bayside Serenade toned down the crazy arrangements and has a nice flowing string sound as well.  Here’s where I start dislike his rapping since it sounds way simple against the music.  He has his moments where he’s doing fast rapping.  His singing though is just way awkward though…His tone is shaky and flat for me….too weird.

3. PSYCHE PSYCHE

The last track off the single, PSYCHE PSYCHE has an cool electro sound to it, but Diggy is singing once again and it bothers me hardcore.  I do like he’s being all edgy in his rapping.  I do have to say, this song is just so damn hilarious to listen to though.

 

 

Diggy-MO’s first single for the new era, ToMiTaMi ToMiTaMo is wild to listen to.  I mean he’s a rapper, but I think he should stick to that and not sing much anymore.  It’s like he’s trying too hard doing that.  The arrangements are cool though.  I don’t know, but it’s going to take a while for this single to hook on me.
