Natural Self - The Love Theme

The Love Theme by Natural Self is taken from the album Let Peace Be The Ruler. From the illustrious Breakin' Bread Crew, Natural Self swiftly changes the sound of soul with timeless acoustic Boom Bap instrumentation that includes hand claps, piano and some gritty J-Dilla-ish drums amongst a variation of pristine hi-hats. All this and the vocalists are given free reign to get in where they fit in, without over-singing. The gospel-inspired songbird marries well with the beat, and one seems destined for the other in this rough cut. Often escaping the rigid format of song structure, Natural Self places the best acoustic melodies over the head nodding drum patterns to provide an organic tune. [Omar Jenning]
