Album Review

E.O.S. –

• 18th Feb 2008

Destined for success, Elements of Surprise (E.O.S.) is an Urban Mainstream outfit made up of three South Asian music artists in the summer of 2002, known as Indie, Synic, and I-Que. Together creating a sound full of street-flavour yet managing to be commercially viable is no easy feat. Through utterly flawless production and genre-fusing, these guys know what they’re doing.

Their debut album ‘The Rap Superhero LP’ was released worldwide in October 2007. Tracks range from gangsta-edged ‘Tonight’ to quality Desi-beat tinted ‘Somethin I’m Not’, they even drop it like it’s hot on ‘Keep Clappin’.

Taking tips from Jay-Z & Linkin Park’s ‘Collision Course’, ‘World Keeps Turnin’ is an Eminem-meets-Mike Shinoda rap/rock-out! Full of ideas and wild creativity, E.O.S. even use an infamous quote by Mohandas Gandhi at the end of this track. Subtle strokes of genius that has to be heard to be believed.

Takings things back to the fundamentals; ‘Time to Breathe’ is classy R&B tune. Demanding attention from radio play lists worldwide, E.O.S. master an art that takes professionals decades to perfect: the art of making urban smash hits!
