As part of this journey we occasionally do a deep dive into a great album and pick out 10 things which we think make it so memorable. With the hope, it might inspire our album.
The album we picked this time is A Grand Don't Come for Free by The Streets, described as a British Rap Opera, it is a truly unique piece of art.
In summary, the 10 we love things are:
1) It’s the ultimate concept album…
2) …but the songs work on their own merit
3) Wonderfully British
4) Humour
5) Brilliantly mundane
6) Vulnerability/honesty
7) Brilliant conveyance of internal monologue
8) Inventive storytelling formats
9) Versatile soundtrack
10) Blurring of genres
