The Herbaliser

Same As It Never Was

Written By: Nolan Richard Ford

Editor's Review:

The Herbaliser is essentially two dudes from West London who have spent the better part of the last 15 years exploring funk-hop (that’s funky hip-hop) by consistently calling upon the efforts of an extensive roster of collaborating musicians; the most recent and possibly most significant addition being 22-year old vocalist Jessica Darling. Jessica’s soulful voice complements the ‘70s vibe on tracks such as “Can’t Help This Feeling” and “You’re Not All That,” bringing the music to life. Unfortunately, there are a few hiccups that come in the form of several guest appearances from some no-talent rapping hacks who aren’t even worth naming because of the taint they place upon what otherwise would be a perfectly appropriate modern soundtrack to any classic Starsky and Hutch episode.
