If Compensating or RiRi is any indication, Limbo will be the exact same.07 AUGUST 2020 (TORONTO, ON) - After heightened anticipation this year for 5x platinum certified artist Aminé’s anxiously awaited second full-length album, the Portland-proud rapper, artist, director, and culture shaker officially presents Limbo today buoyed by 50 million cumulative streams generated on select tracks so far. He's fun and energetic and makes music that matches with that vibe. He's clearly having the time of his life with his Portland buddies in all of his music videos.

The collabs only make for a better listen.Īmine is also just a cool dude. It's a stacked tracklist and Amine on his own can create memorable work. The Injury Reserve song will be tough to listen to after Groggs, one of the members of Injury Reserve, passed away last month, but it will be an incredible piece of music if their previous collaborations have proven anything. Plus, he landed two incredible features in JID and Vince Staples. But Amine's music is at its best when filled with joyous harmony and singsong chorus rather than grimy, albeit great, beats. Don't get me wrong, OnePointFive was excellent and Amine remains one of the better performers I've seen live when he showed out in Boston (yeah, I saw him live, twice, no big deal, it's whatever).

It sounds way more like the Amine I grew to enjoy. The only way I can really describe the sound is groovy, man. Shimmy was a pure single and unrelated to the album, but Compensating and RiRi are on the track list, which means they're more indicative of what the project will sound like as a whole. Amine released three singles before announcing the new album: Shimmy, RiRi, and Compensating, which features Young Thug.ĬOVER + TRACKLIST /4gWrtRvHE7- Limbo 8/7 July 16, 2020 Which brings us to Limbo, slated to release on August 7. It was a very different sound from Good For Me, filled with trap beats and cacophony rather than the melodic euphony that he found a fan base within. His second piece of work was not an album, but rather an El-P/Mixtape/Album titled OnePointFive as a nod to the fact that it wasn't an "official" Amine album and more of an in-between while he worked on his next project. That's when I first started listening to Amine regularly. He combines a pop sound with smooth rap bars in a way few had done successfully up to that point. After that put him on the map, he came out with an excellent debut album titled Good For Me in 2017. For those new to Amine, you probably know him from his extremely popular single Caroline that blew up in late 2016. On Thursday, Amine released the tracklist for his second official studio album, Limbo.
