Onejiru

The abbreviation of Prophets of Profit is POP, and indeed this album masters a great many modern pop-cultural styles. The music is electronic and organic at the same time , full of guitars and horns, flutes, keyboards and percussion. The sounds are always soulful, no matter how much they might be rockin. Many of the tracks are based on Matthias Arfmanns (Jan Delay, Turtle Bay country Club, Patrice) massive Dub-Grooves, but at the same time leaning towards Drum 'n' Bass, Elektro-Funk, RnB and African styles. The lyrics, sung by Onejiru in her warm and beautiful voice, tell stories of love and desperation, revenge and riches, false prophets and profits. But still the songs seem light and listenable, which is as much part of the program as the fact that they free mind, body and soul. I love dynamics and crave entertainment, Onejiru, who wrote all the lyrics and co-wrote most of the songs on her debut, admits.
