iTunes Review: “Sex In The Morning” CD - HYIM Spreads His Wings by DJ Ken
I expected big things from Hyim after hearing (and seeing) the video for "Elation". The positive vibe that runs through "Elation" permeates the entire album. Hyim doesn't take himself too seriously; the "... enough about me, what do you think of me" line offers ample proof. There's a breezy familiarity to the music... you've heard music like it, but you're not sure where. To me, that's a good thing. Lyrically, the songs are unique; with a song like "Contact", with its talk of texting and constantly being online, the knee-jerk reaction is to assume that Hyim is merely trying to reach a younger demographic. Instead, "Contact" is a lament against the lack of human interaction; it's my favorite track on the album, and it's the song that challenges Hyim vocally. He's up to the challenge.
This is a diverse mix of tunes, what you'd imagine John Lennon might put out after a year of listening to world beat, ska, and smoking a healthy amount of plant life. In a world where every popular song is over-produced and completely computer generated, "Sex In The Morning" provides a welcome alternative.
