 Flamagra ends up revealing itself as a lukewarm listen: the initial trio only vaguely returns the uniqueness of a touch that many of us have learned to appreciate over the years.

 What is missing is that obsessive attention to detail, the upheavals in the progression of tracks when you least expect them but above all, that feeling of exploring the most remote corners of the cosmos.

Flying Lotus returned after five years with Flamagra, an album that disappointingly shifts to more conventional rhythms and arrangements. Despite many featured artists, the album lacks creative sparks and the signature unpredictability FlyLo is known for. Highlights include Denzel Curry's contribution and Thundercat's familiar chemistry. Overall, Flamagra feels like a subdued and less impactful work compared to previous FlyLo releases. Discover why Flying Lotus' Flamagra sparks debate — listen and decide for yourself!
