Vignettes
Damu the Fudgemunk
2017
Damu The Fudgemunk has never been afraid to be different, and on his latest album, Vignettes, Damu experiments with the core elements of hip hop itself, creating a unique concept album that blends genres and pushes boundaries.
True to its name, “Vignettes” features a series of wildly different tracks, which pull inspiration from a variety of genres, ranging from electronica to gospel and everything in between. “Vignettes” means, a short descriptive literary sketch/brief incident or scene (as in a play or movie).
The album’s concept is built around extended compositions—each track is essentially a multi-part suite, shifting through different moods and textures like a collection of short musical stories or “vignettes.” The album is aptly titled and mostly instrumental, where 15 musical scenes, each with their unique settings, are stitched harmoniously together to provide a universal message to the audience in which they use the gift of their own interpretation. At just over 2 hours long, the listener is given an unfiltered front row performance into the heart, mind and soul of the the artist.
