CHERUB, Year of the Caprese



Post-disco duo Cherub returns with "Year of the Caprese" an album comprised of trippy boots and pants rhythms and saccharine lyrics.

Lyrically rife with cliches but riding a middle ground between R. Kelly R&B banter and Drake mawkishness, Cherub can definitely find a home in the sound systems of the late teen crowd this summer. One only needs to look to the second track "Disco Shit" to draw similarities with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," a song that took over the airwaves last summer. Another dangerously catchy tune is "This Song Is for You," in which a girl is wooed as a party winds down.

Moreover, "Year of the Caprese" is lighthearted fair. There isn't anything here that would pervade into summers to come, but it's something to play in the meantime; like a mid-season show that gets you through the stickiest months of the year.
