The first time I heard the solemn opening bars of "Procession," I knew Childqueen was unlike any music I'd heard before. Kadhja Bonet infuses beautiful, slow funk and soul sounds with an almost druidic, Enya-like sense of mystery, with lyrical themes that range from gestures toward unspoken interpersonal truths to the ancient secrets of the forest. For me the stand-out track is "Delphine," an aching, scintillating ballad that I would currently rank as my favorite love song ever. Dominique Cyprès
What an amazing and strange album! I remember the first time I heard of Josiah's work was a FADER article on Twitter about his debut EP. An EP which I liked but this album I love. Especially the track "cherubim". It's the most intense and moving track on here. It makes me want to move and dance as wildly as Josiah and his lover did in the music video for it. I can't wait to see what Josiah does in the future. John
I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
