The most interesting of Alicia’s copious collaborations are the ones that diverge from Keys’s usual style. Album Reviews: The Raconteurs - Consolers Of The Lonely. His voice is alluringly androgynous and demonstrates a wide range that anchors each of his songs, allowing it to crack and falter delicately in key moments. The songs leap from genre to genre, sonically tied together by their connections to the past: “The Streets Where I Belong” suggests the small-town tributes of Springsteen as sung by an anonymous dream-pop chanteuse, while the poetic “Corridors of Time” and the deceptively jovial “It’s Finally Over” channel classic pop modes like doo-wop and ‘50s girl groups. Thankfully for fans, all of the songs from the album’s original tracklist have leaked (either as demos or finished but unmastered tracks) along with others from the sessions, and have been configured into various bootleg compilations. At an excessive 18 tracks, the album ends up feeling like a big-budget version of the nondescript, vaguely hip-hop-flavored study mixes that proliferate on YouTube. It follows the Blackpink blueprint to a tee, though its loyalty to it feels predictable. Want more Rolling Stone?

They were a side project of Jack White and others, reminding me in principle of the Traveling Wilburys only because of the plethora of talent. I know very well that The Raconteurs is a collective band that comprises of musicians who write music together. From 2005’s massive, baroque opus Illinois, to 2010’s bombastic Age of Adz, to 2015’s achingly personal Carrie and Lowell, the singer-songwriter never seems afraid to go all in on a sound or feeling. During Amazon's brilliant marketing ploy of offering a free month of Prime, I searched through the temporarily free music in their MP3 directory and came across this gem. There’s a mariachi influence in the Conquest-like The Switch And The Spur, and fiddles in the country ho-down Old Enough. Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018.
