(Gentleman Caller)

It’s officially that time of the year again, Valentine’s Day! And although I may have just gotten my girl chocolates and a bear, Caos is back with yet another EP, and this time it’s for the ladies, so let’s talk about it! 

So, this time around, it’s 6 songs with 21 minutes in length. Production credits are between

-DJ Pain1

-Engineer

-Caos himself, and I gotta say this kind of production reminds me of the mid to late 2000s era hip hop with your Nellys, Ludacris, Ja Rule, The Dream, etc., very glossy, high-end, and stadium atmosphere. This is actually a dead era; the more I think about it, I haven’t heard this sound in years since I was a teen, so it does feel nostalgic in a way to hear this style make its revival within this EP.

This is the kind of song you’d expect the girls to play in their cars driving fast up the freeway thinking of their dream guys (or in some cases while texting their man back on Microsoft Excel), but that’s neither here nor there.

My favourite joint on the project is ‘If I Was Your Man.’ I love the R&B-inspired beat and the feature vocal harmony for the chorus. Very sensual and beautiful production, perfect for the vibe of Valentine’s Day.

As far as the rapping goes, Caos sounds as smooth and crisp as ever. His wordplay is smart and sensual, and his lyricism is, of course, tailor-made for romantic themes and women, so it’s a lot more sweetener than normal, but hey, for Valentine’s Day, it fits perfectly!

He’s not alone this time around with the likes of 

-South Jerzy L

-Lil’ J

-T.G.

-Knzie

-Charlotte Boin

-Rambo

And all these names help deliver on the atmosphere and romantic themes of the album. Especially Charlotte, she really sets the mood well with her delivery on the melodic chorus!

The Verdict? If you’re out of present ideas for your girl, go grab them this! It’s catchy, smooth, and crisp. Caos has just created the sound of love, and I’m sure your partner will be the better for them! So ladies, what are you waiting for? Cop a listen now!
