Pick of the Week #11 - K'naan - Troubador



It's been a while since I've posted here, but, I'm pledging now to get back into the music a little and stop reading so much.

Anyways, this is a little bit of a half hearted pick of the week that, much like Chad Van Gaalen's Polaris nomination for Skelliconnection, is more based on his past work that this album...

The executive summary: The album, while good, is over produced and has too many guest appearances which take away from what K'naan does best: tell heartbreaking, clever, interesting stories about his youth/Somalia.

See the post in its entirety (if you dare!) at Burgeoning Metropolis or AWmusic.
