While Chance shines on a good majority of the tracks, small parts of the mixtape just hold it back.Įveryone’s favorite synth-pop trio group, CHVRCHES, is back after their latest album to score a video game soundtrack for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The tracks with the autotune just aren’t the same as classic Chance.Ĭoloring Book is a mixtape of what could have been. By using autotune and other effects, Chance takes one of the best weapons out of his arsenal. His voice has a one-of-a-kind character to it. Nobody out there can pull off his goofiness and swagger. My other problem with the project is the alteration of Chance’s voice and flow on a number of the tracks as in “No Problems” and “Mixtape.” For me, I listen to Chance because he is a unique artist. The project is inconsistent in general, so it is at times a very hard listen. There are some amazing sounding ones too, like “Angels.” However, this only seems to be an issue on a small amount of tracks. Even so, the mix just seems flat, with at times way out of wack levels and muddy mixing. The most notable and egregious is robo-Kanye kicking in the door on the opening track that made me spit milk out of my nose from shock. Just like with The Social Experiment’s Surf, there are some blatantly bad mixing blunders on this project. There are definitely some problems with the mixtape. ![]() Chance is in a new chapter of his music career. However, for the most part, gone is the driving ambition and excitement of Acid Rap. Chance also can bring the enthusiasm he showcased on Acid Rap as heard on “Angels”. These tracks are the best on the mixtape. Chance is a changed man, and that reflects in his music. ![]() The experience he has gained as a father seems to be making a distinct impression on tracks such as “Summer Friends” and “Same Drugs.” He is much more mature and meditative, seeming to select his words and craft his delivery more carefully and with more meaning. He has definitely matured since Acid Rap. This mixtape presents an exciting new chapter in Chance’s history. Many people wanted another Acid Rap from Chance, but that is not what they got. Chance has also worked with Kanye West, most notably on Kanye’s last album, The Life of Pablo. Many members of the Social Experiment appear on Coloring Book. In the meantime, he has worked effectively with frequent collaborators and his band The Social Experiment and their album Surf. Coloring Book is one of those albums.Ĭhicago’s Chance the Rapper’s third mixtape has been highly anticipated since he released his hit tape Acid Rap three years ago. It is still great, but isn’t as good as what was anticipated. Sometimes, however, the album falls a little short of the hype. It blows away the expectations and does even more. ![]() There are times when an anticipated album is hyped to high heaven and back again and absolutely delivers.
