Oliver Smith - Footprints (Artist Album) [Anjunabeats]

[NameLessYet]

What a surprise! So many years have passed, Oliver finally has his debut album, such a heavyweight part of the 25th anniversary of Anjunabeats.

Watching the tracklist, it's obvious that at least 75% of the album are vocal tracks that many of them might be too cheesy here. But I think I am young enough to enjoy the album.

What do you think?

Tracklist:
01. Signals
02. Rely On Me (with Tailor)
03. Wash Away (with MØØNE)
04. Miss You (with Benjamin Roustaing)
05. It Is What It Is (with Diana Miro)
06. Hold Back (with Benjamin Roustaing)
07. Love Is A Feeling (with Susie Ledge)
08. Open Up
09. Legacy (with FARLEY)
10. Be The One (with Benjamin Roustaing)
11. Redline
12. Breathe (with Midnite Amity)

Rely On Me

Breathe

Album

Breathe is enjoyable I’m not sure that this album will be good enough to buy a physical version but it’s nice to see an album from Oliver

Anjunabeats, give SØNIN this chance as well, please.

Anjunabeats, give SØNIN this chance as well, please.

He has many IDs on his ASOT Festival set two weeks ago, as there is a special cover of Rush, I think he will have an album soon, also Alex Sonata & TheRio, two (or might need to say three in total) rising stars on Anjunabeats.

I hope so, Anton is one of my favorite creators on Anjubabeats in this decade

Really enjoying that break in Breathe. I think the vocals work really well with that and it's what really caught my attention when I first heard it as an ID last month!

Looking forward to see what the album brings too. It probably won't be everyone's cup of tea here. The vocal tracks will probably be on the more pop trance side (and he's done some good ones) and I'm intrigued to see what he does with some of the instrumental tracks

Previews now on Beatport. All vocal tracks except Signals (an Ambient track) and Redline which Is probably my fav of the unreleased previews so far (lovely break!). As I mentioned, likely not everyone's thing here and if you're looking for very early Oliver Smith stuff then don't expect much, but there's some nice vocal tracks there regardless

 

[Progrez]

Ummm the chorus of Breathe are eerily and almost similar to Can't sleep by Above & Beyond maybe it's just me. But the vocals are worse in this one compared to can't sleep.

 

[Z Dobrej Woli]

Yeah, „Redline” is definitely the most interesting track on this album. I’m a little disappointed if we’re talking about the first studio album from person like Oliver.

I will give it a chance on release date. But I’m almost sure that it won’t be good enough to buy it on vinyl

Surprised he mentioned Les Voleurs, I had actually dug into that stuff before (as I usually do for any artist I enjoy enough).

This is pretty good pop dance album overally. I basically liked almost every track.
Legacy might be my fav tho
7/10 overally
