A must listen, Disclosure delivers everything you would expect and more within their new album Caracal.
With collaborations with such artists as The Weeknd, Sam Smith and Miguel, this electronic duo perfectly illustrated their talent to create music in just their second studio album released.
Heavily characterized by low, synthesized beats, Caracal is very interesting to listen to as Disclosure takes you through many unexpected twists and turns, rhythmically and lyrically. The second song on the album, “Omen,” also very well highlights how well the artist and this duo go together in the studio.
Having just released his own album just a month before the release of Caracal, The Weeknd hops on the very poetic song “Nocturnal” which, as interpreted by the song title, is in the perspective of The Weeknd and his feeling of the inability to sleep through the thoughts that are going through his mind at night.
Unlike most general electronic music, Disclosure incorporates a very interesting R&B feel to their music, making it much more laidback and easy to listen to, which is most likely the reason why this collaboration fit so perfectly. Compared to their last album Settle, Caracal seems to be more lyrically diverse with a lot more bass within the rhythm of the music. Having various featured artists definitely gives the album a different place in the genre of music produced by Disclosure, which is why they are able to get their music at the top of the Billboard charts, because it appeals to such a wide audience.
