B. Bravo (aka Adam Mori) returns to Bastard Jazz with the long-awaited follow-up to his 2017 debut LP, “Paradise,” with a fresh full-length offering: “Vizionz.” Replete with his signature future funk vibes, infectiously soulful grooves, and talkbox excursions, “Vizionz” sees the multifaceted artist take the classic West Coast into outer space. If B. Bravo’s last album sought to get lost in paradise - enjoying the moment here and now - “Vizionz” looks forward, feet placed firmly in an established LA vibe, while the matured eyes of a veteran producer gaze keenly to the future. 

“Vizionz” arrives following a slew of diverse singles, which highlight B. Bravo’s stunning versatility as a songwriter, producer, and collaborator. Last year’s “Lifted (What U Waiting 4)” came first, at the end of May, 2020, pairing g-funk talk-box verses and synth lines with rich vocal harmonies and a dance-floor-ready beat. Frequent collaborator Reva DeVito (Miami Horror, Kaytranada) makes a standout vocal appearance on “Fly Bye,” the second single. Here, Adam surrounds Reva’s vocals with ambient pads, a Dilla-inspired beat, and an irresistible bassline, while Reva’s dreamily sings about getting away from it all. The final single, “Believe,” sees Chuck Inglish (of the famed duo The Cool Kids) rhyme in his distinctive baritone over a bass-heavy instrumental meant to rattle some car stereos. 

The singles offer a view into the rest of the album: Solo B. Bravo joints include “Moon Bounce,” a talk-box boogie jam begging for late-night drives with the top down; the largely-instrumental synth improvisation, “Midnight Rider;” the upbeat “Penelope,” which showcases Adam’s vocal and harmonic prowess; a bumping g-funk interlude, with “Flip Out;” as well as the laid back album opener, “Da Essence.” 

Further vocal assists come by way of Sally Green on the flirty “10/10,” and Rojai on the slow jam ““No Regrets” . Both singers have worked on B. Bravo projects in the past, with Rojai additionally joining forces with Adam to form the duo Kool Customer, whose self-titled debut album was released on Bastard Jazz in 2018. Two more hip-hop-leaning tracks are aided by Def Sound (“Back Times Two”) and Nico Fasho (“Ms. Stardust”); leaning heavy into outerspace G-Funk Hip-Hop vibes. 

Taken as a whole, “Vizionz” is a much needed boost of serotonin: Uncompromisingly positive, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes aspirational, but always funky. The range of styles is a testament to Adam’s indelible production chops, songwriting skill, and ability to collaborate. While it has been a long 5 years since “Paradise,” “Vizionz” proves more than worth the wait.

Dam-Funk - We Continue

BETTER
When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better
Compared, and yet I’m stuck

Hard to feel the dark
When everyone’s better
The hate you share is worse than being better—it’s just letters

To fight the madness in the dark
Is visible by day; oh, where do I start?

Oh, I confess my feelings are hard to put down
When happiness is toxic and it dances all around
Who knows who you truly are? It’s a mystery
And; Yet I think you’re more simple, you’ve got a head, so think

When the time is near
Hope that you find your fears
To feel alive is better
Than any kind of letters

I suppose it’s all the same
I hope you remember my name

When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better

Better

Limon lays down a fantastic blend of modern funk and soul sounds on "Love Don't Pay The Bills," a love song with a layered subtext. Defined by its catchy vocals, juicy guitar, and addictive Rhodes keys, this killer cut is sure to have them flocking to the dance floor on cue. Relevant to today and funky in every way.
