After delivering a few projects this year that displayed many of his influences, Frankie Maloja comes back Episode 1, a demonstration of more inspirations while presenting what seems to be the first part of a series of experimental EPs. Episode 1 starts with “Ginobili”, a high-energy hip-hop track that finds the artist reflecting on various subjects while showing some of his earl-2010s Kanye influences. Afterwards, “Hatel” is a hip hop song that’ll hypnotize listeners with his sample while Maloja addresses the haters and critics in a song that finds the artist showing off his singing skills and his Caribbean roots. Then “Olvidalo” is a love and sex-driven record that finds the musician exploring more R&B-driven sounds. Next “María” is a soul and gospel inspired hip hop tune that reflects on many of the recent events Puerto Rico has lived through recently, especially Hurricane María and the incompetence in the government.
In summary, Frankie Maloja’s Episode 1 is a great project that finds the artist expanding his sound while delivering a very emotional tune by the end.
