Heo Daniel - 인디언 (Indian) 14 songs, 37 min, 2024, independent release
Guys I'm not gonna comment every single song, but here was have an actual, real, oldschool FULL ALBUM that is consistent in itself. Like a concept album. Some songs flow into each other. Like always, it perfectly reflects Heo Daniel's style and usual topics. No features, which I think is just right. Sacrificing the effect of better-known artists promoting your album to stick to your style and bring across your own thing 👍 This guy is truly one of the most underrated artists in khh underground, though it's not really hiphop. It's singing rap and pop, but in his own colors. Speaking of colors, I love the title photo and its colors! Sunset photography! Fire! Fireworks! Beautiful! For those who don't know him, it's hard to describe his style. Indie, dreamlike, a little weird, artsy (not like Tool but a bit like that you know what I mean?). You can hear influences of Yescoba and C-Jamm, but without the feeling of self-destructiveness. And even though Yescoba is his role model musically, I think Daniel's kind of more advanced than him. Also, Daniel's religiousness comes across in his songs, but very subtly and he's not trying to convert you and he's not saying he's a good boy (e.g., like Bewhy, who keeps saying he's morally superior to everyone blabla) or anything. I should take the time to look at his lyrics properly but for now I can't say much more. You should really check it out!!
