After a near decade-long journey of false starts, missed expectations & major label mishaps, alternative R&B artist/producer Mackeson brings us his debut album Cult Classic! The record might not be a full concept album, but it harps on major themes of living life in extremes. Two characters of Mackeson’s psyche arise in the songs: an angel and a devil-like character who torment and encourage him equally. Mackeson says he wrote Cult Classic! and filmed its corresponding videos in a nonlinear way— thematically and lyrically, the songs don’t seem to be stuck in any time or place. They flow together and almost on top of each other in some moments, like individual pixels unified by the whole picture the album presents. What unites them is Mackeson’s smooth R&B style. It’s the type of album that should be consumed in one sitting. Still unappreciated by mainstream culture, but amassing a steady devotion from a passionate audience the album is living up to its name.
