Timbuktu
En high 5 & 1 falafel
JuJu Records
Timbuktu is back with his new record "En high 5 & 1 falafel" and it starts off with a few words from the new President Barack Obama before continuing with no surprise, in its political ways. That is also the theme for this new creation of Timbuktu's, no surprise. There are a few differences when compared to previous releases though and one is that Timbuktu has incorporated a lot more different genres and has created a modified sound, but it isn't enough to get the listener interested. Timbuktu became one of Sweden's most loved artists and with both "W.D.M.D" and "The botten is nåd" in his back pocket for good reason, but when "Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö" was released you could sense that Timbuktu's steam was running out and with this new album there wasn't any left. Still though, Timbuktu is a good musician and even though this isn't his best release it still has some reasonable level of quality.
