Wow…we haven’t updated this in a while. So here is something new to listen to…and since I’m Canadian, here is another Canadian artist you are probably not already familiar with.

Ko, is new to the scene…or at least new to me, and since I’m the one that is writing this it is my opinion that matters. From Toronto Ko is getting some good airplay around here, and hearing him on the radio immediately made me seek out some more.

I gotta say, the dude has a funky sound. Acoustic Hip-Hop is the best way that I can describe his music. His songs have a solid groove that keeps the interest but to me it is the acoustic guitar in the songs that makes his work stand out. Capable was the first song of his that I heard, a slower tune, but still with that relentless beat. The song opens with a great acoustic guitar riff that immediately grabs the attention and the song just keeps building this great energy up. Moving Mountains was the next song that caught my ear. Currently it is one of my favourite songs to go running to. I usually start my running playlist with it, so you can tell from that that it has a good tempo. I picked up the album and feel good about the purchase.

On the whole the album is a solid effort and delivers a solid performance. There are a couple of songs that aren’t to my taste, but these are far outweighed by the songs that are. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next.
