Description
The last album observed the world around us, this album is a call to arms. Fantastic Negrito is bringing the fight and confronting the challenges of our day full-on, with tracks like ' Plastic Hamburgers' and 'A Boy Named Andrew'.The title 'Please Don't Be Dead' is a plea to all to keep alive everything that is and was good and important. For anyone who ever felt like it was over yet hoped it wasn't, this is your music.
Description
There is desperation and urgency in Fantastic Negrito's new album "Please Don't Be Dead." The record sees the Devil around the corner, and each song is plea to make you aware of what's waiting for you. The artist is screaming at you because he knows what comes next. The album art features a real life photograph of Fantastic Negrito waking up from a three week coma. His body is shattered, his eyes are staring past you. They're staring at the Devil. But with his new album we hear the voice of an artist who put that Devil in the rearview. Now he's asking America to do the same. Like Negrito in that photograph, our country is driving off a cliff. We're letting our worst inclinations lead us: hate, division, greed, superficiality. It is going to be a fight to pull ourselves from this toxic mire, and this album is a roadmap by an artist who survived the same journey...battered, scarred, but determined to wake us all up. "Please Don't Be Dead" is a man standing over something wounded. Something he cares about. He's looking around, and he's saying: "do something."
