tUnE-yArDs - Bizness

There's a lot of stand-out moments in "Bizness", the first single from upcoming tUnE-yArDs album w h o k i l l. There's rimshots, flurries of passionate vocals, loops, african-inspired rhythms, and a whole lot of production value. The difference between "Bizness" and her first album, BiRd-BrAinS, is undeniable. By sacrificing her original lo-fi sound, tUnE-yArDs sounds much more powerful and overwhelming. Instead of directly observing her self-recorded mp3s, we're given the effect of listening to a live performance. Everything's loud and prominent in the mix, and the relentless singing brings emotion that breathes new life in this artist's career.
