Much like his sudden breakout onto the music scene, Boots' debut Aquaria (Columbia) starts with a buzz.
Gaining exposure after producing much of Beyonce's 2013 surprise album, he went on to work with Run the Jewels (RTJ's El-P returns the favor here) and FKA Twigs.
A pop queen, a hardcore rap duo, and an alt-R&B newcomer -- seemingly disparate beneficiaries of one man's work, and yet it all makes perfect sense.
Boots combines the best of R&B, rock, electronic, rap, and pop sensibilities for a futuristic sound that comes close to achieving a musical mono-genre singularity.
Nothing on Aquaria seems out of place, but each song brings something new to the party.
