Allen Stone - Contact High
Artist: Allen Stone
Producer: Andy Rose
Album: Allen Stone
Label: StickyStones
In a globally connected digital age, where the old becomes new again as fast as the new becomes old, it can feel like we’ve heard it all before. So to be clear, we have heard Allen Stone’s music before. It’s the same music that’s been made by truly gifted artists for the last 50 years. It’s hard to sound classic on your first DJBooth feature, but that’s exactly what Stone’s pulled off on Contact High. While stoners may be disappointed at the song’s lack of special brownies, the rest of us will feel uplifted by the Chewelah, WA native’s voice, a voice that will inevitably draw comparisons to [insert legendary R&B/soul singer of your choice here, I’ll go with Stevie Wonder]. All of Allen’s soaring vocals are backed by some live instrument and background singer enhanced production by Andy Rose that’s as joyous as the headliner’s lyrics. Remember people, there’s nothing wrong with feeling happy, and since music’s my Contact High I won’t front, I’m smiling right now. Fresh off his fortchoming SOB’s headling show, Allen will release his self-titled new album next Tuesday (10/4) via iTunes.

nothing new in terms of sound here. feels like a blend of aloe blacc and robin thicke. by the way I can't comment or like anything on the djbooth facebook page for some reason? I used to be able to before but now it has stopped working. Anyway relating to the most recent question you guys should really feature Scienze, Tumi & The Volume (from south africa), Blu and Marques Toliver. Also check Oddisee's new instrumental album called Rock Creek Park (it is amazing). Trust me you won't be disappointed. Peace

Whoa Whoa Whoa now Nathan, Stevie?? Really? I wouldnt play that card so easily, the track was smooth I enjoyed it but cmon now. I think it would have been better to say he was inspired by Wonder, but I wouldnt put it farther than that. Go play some Stevie real quick and put that card back in your deck.
