Gorilla Zoe - Alright (Patron)
Artist: Gorilla Zoe
Producer: Mac-Niff
Album: King Kong
Label: Block/E1
Since last year’s economic crash, many former high-rollers have gone a more populist route, creating “recession music” for the common man (and woman, of course). Is Gorilla Zoe following their lead? Not a freaking chance! Newly-released single Alright finds the rapper partying as hard – and as expensively – as ever, knocking back shot after shot of Patron as he enjoys the company of a “pretty little Rozay sipper” who’s “dancing on [his] zipper.” Mac Niff backs Gorilla Zoe’s unapologetic stunting with some appropriately bombastic boardwork, piling synth after synth onto a midtempo percussion rhythm and topping the whole club-ready concoction off with a catchy chopped-n-screwed hook. So, Booth readers, is this dancefloor-scorching single destined to become a smash, or is it simply Alright (“All Right,” to all you English teachers out there)? Whatever your opinion, keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest on Zoe’s King Kong LP, currently set to hit stores and online retailers April 6, 2010.

Over this trend of naming songs after your favorite alcohol, but I gotta admit, this one would definitely have a better effect on me at the club as opposed to my headphones. I can rotate this one, because it will probably be bumping in my ride this weekend.

Feel like this song is about six months too late for the Patron/blame it on the alcohol trend, and even if it was summer, Gorilla Zoe's not the right man to be doing it.

Deep gruff voiced Rapper + heavy on synth/overproduced instrumental + chopped-n-screwed hook that keeps on repeating = the textbook case of 'noise' that is, purposeful clutter, with real direction to receive club-spins only.
Wayyyy better club tracks are out there, in my opinion. |

Will work out in the club (thanks to Mac-Niff's beat). However, what's with Zoe's voice on the verses? Maybe he recorded this when he was drunk!
"I Like Girls," "Echo," and now this...maybe Zoe's taking this approach because word finally got back to him that he looks like Timbo's little brother! Still, only in rotation because it's not nearly as original as the other two. Here's hoping more of that creative streak comes along for "King Kong"! |

alright! zoe coming back with another club record...the beat switch for the hook is key to this song. as always with zoe, ur not listening for crazy lyricism, but his swag and attitude on tracks has to be respected and it carries this one

Somebody (Mac-Niff) got carried away. I'll still cop the album though.
