John Regan - Suicide ediciuS
Artist: John Regan
Producer: Needlz
Album: Sorry I'm Late
Label: Culture VI
If you visited the Booth looking for a little light entertainment, you may want to click on… well, just about anything else. If, on the other hand, you’re craving something a little heavier, with the potential to shake up your perspective on life and death, Suicide ediciuS may be just what the doctor ordered. On this newly-leaked album cut, John Regan looks back on one of his darkest moments; accompanied by Michigan beatsmith Needlz’ haunting strings, he exhaustively recounts his thoughts and actions leading up to an suicide attempt, concluding “Heaven or hell, who knows? Let’s just hope for the best.” On the back, he pulls the rug out from under us, shifting gears to retell the events of verse one in reverse. After a climax worthy of a Christopher Nolan film, in which he unseals the envelope holding his suicide note and erases the contents, the narrator resumes his life, grateful that the man upstairs had seen fit to offer him a second chance. When emotional resonance and clever storytelling come together like this, it’s hard to say more than “Damn.” Agree? Then you’ll most definitely want to check out Regan’s Sorry I’m Late LP, available now.

The topic is heavy, obviously, but John's ability to captivate over this very moving instrumental make it easy to handle (and I mean that in a good way). This album he has coming in November is shaping up to be one of the best indie releases of 2010.

Regan's making himself known as one of the best, serious new emcees in the game. There's no doubt he's headed for big things if he keeps making gripping music like this.

Deep, thought provoking song. The production is the perfect backdrop for the mood of the song.

This one is gonna be on repeat for awhile. That hook gave me goosebumps and the production is just as Richard pointed out, haunting. John Regan got a banger on his hands.

I'm Back!!!
Apologies for my silence of late; a combination of increased workload and and other general complications has kept me away from DJBooth but nevertheless everything has returned to normal and so I have returned to posting---but at a relatively comfortable frequency. Often songs with such artistry and emotional scope can alienate the audience but this remains engaging and keeps the listener in suspense till song's righteous conclusion. The rhymes are poetic in its form, yet still accessible. And clearly Needlz is more than aware of the power of a strong sample and it is his poignant crafting which further enhance the impact of the song. Sample used (Mandalay's "It's Enough Now") is striking and used very effectively in a conversation with John Regan's lyrics, adding to the gloomy atmosphere and sense of unease that pervade the song. Solid four stars for this extremely well done song. |
