He’s back! Man With a Corduroy Heart has successfully accomplished an album cycle, dropping several singles only to then bless us with ‘Things Are a Little Bit…’, an extensive body of work that truly showcases everything the English creative is capable of. A liquid, enchanting record, the album features a stark contrast between his sonic and lyrical content.
On one side, Man With a Corduroy Heart moves through slightly leftfield, intimate and lo-fi productions, drenched in electronic textures and iconic, minimal beats. On the other side, he’s championing playful, relatable and down-to-earth lyricism. Perhaps, that’s where the project’s Folk component tends to shine bright; a collection of everyday experiences, nostalgic themes and interesting storytelling, all layered over the aforementioned musical goodness.
Such a formula makes for a quirky, unique album, which is an accomplishment in itself, especially in the modern industry landscape, where everyone is chasing trends and virality. Guess what: Man With A Corduroy Heart doesn’t care, he’s fiercely pursuing his own artistry. And it’s paying off: ‘Things Are a Little Bit…’ is a deep, meaningful slice of modern extravaganza, a record that takes time to be digested and fully understood, yet relatable and friendly enough to aid casual listening.
