Distant Lights (Explicit)
Artist: BEZEL
Album: Distant Lights
Reviewed by Jason Randall Smith
Bezel (think “embezzle” if you’re unsure of the pronunciation) steps forth with the confidence of Kanye West and the determination of Drake on his debut album Distant Lights. Released independently on In-Flight Records, it presents rap music adorned with the sensibilities of R&B, softening the edges of a tough guy swagger to reveal the heart of a lover man. While the opening cut “Look Into My Eyes” gives the impression of a brother sizing up his competition at first glance, its verbal posturing makes up a small percentage of the album’s content. The majority of Distant Lights is far more concerned with sensual atmospheres and sexual conquests, with a few party cuts in between.
String plucks introduce “Five Dollars” over a minimal beat and thoughts of maximum dividends, featuring Bezel and guest rapper Phoenix living the life and spending the cash. The party roll...
