Celeste by drchamploo
Warm, smooth and radiating positivity, “Celeste” is Drchamploo’s first full album release on Aviary Bridge Records, coming in two years after his gorgeous and unforgettable “Burning Blossom” EP. Inspired by the textures of soul music from the 60s, 70s and 80s, “Celeste” combines hip-hop, soul and jazz into one glorious melding pot.
Using a fiery sunset as a visual reference, Drchamploo has filled this album to the brim with silky smooth rhodes and summery guitars, creating an overarching sound profile that is bound to alight listeners' nostalgia for both eras past and carefree summers. All in all, “Celeste” is an album that is bound to enhance every season, but we’re willing to bet this is going to become a summer staple amongst our listeners.
