Louis Picasso released his latest project, Behind The Paintings 2. To provide a simple synopsis of the album's overall feel, sonically, it resembles Kid Cudi's Man on The Moon. However, lyrically, its denser than your standard Cudi album. For first time listeners of Picasso, the album's dark sounds are fairly ambiguous in defining the album's mood. First-time listeners are allowed to provide their own interpretation on the album's tone.

Since this is a biased review, I will speak from my perspective of things.

I believe that the album's overall tone is one of freedom. Seeming as if it's expressing sympathy for someone you once cared about. This comes across during his first track "This Right Here" where he states "This shit here gone hurt you fareal."

This theme of sympathetic flexing is expressed throughout the entire album. Picasso treats this project as one solid painting. Giving the listeners options to determine the message with our own interpretation.

As for the tracks themselves, Picasso sounds comfortable.While I could hear the times he'd experiment with different effects when he's feeling melodically adventurous. It's undeniable to see that Picasso seems comfortable throughout the album. Whether it's his subject matter or the pacing of each track, he's in his natural element throughout the album.

From my perspective, Picasso seems to be experimenting with new sounds but never venturing too far from what he knows best. He finds a way to speak on his truth in a new way.

The positives that this album has to offer is that its style is consistent throughout. There will never be a time where a single sound feels out of place or a single feature feels as if it's a stand alone project. Every instrument, every feature and every bar serves to make this project feels whole. Almost as if you're hearing one solid song that have different stanza's.

Overall, the album has a steady sound, finding its groove early and never venturing too far from what it knows best. While it's relatively easy for an album to lose itself in search of its own identity, this project understands its definitive sound from the start and keeps the momentum from its opening-to-closing track.
