Review: Moby's latest album, Always Centered at Night, is another excellent album that explores the ethereal landscapes of late 70s and early 80s New York, the artist drawing inspiration from his musical roots. Collaborating with a diverse array of vocalists, Moby crafts a strong set of tender yet defiant songs that defy commercial norms in favor of raw, personal expression. The album pulsates with emotional depth and atmospheric richness, pulling you into a world where vulnerability reigns supreme. From the breathless daydream of 'On Air,' featuring serpentwithfeet's soul-stirring vocals, to the haunting melancholy of 'Dark Days,' adorned with Lady Blackbird's jazzy soul, each track offers a glimpse into Moby's creative vision. What sets Always Centered at Night apart is its commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity. Moby encourages his collaborators to embrace their individuality, resulting in a collection of songs that defy conventions and resonate on a profound level. Whether it's the stirring rendition of Cream's 'We're Going Wrong' with Brie O'Banion or the powerful verses of 'Where Is Your Pride?' featuring Benjamin Zephaniah, each track leaves an indelible impression. Always Centered at Night is another great example at Moby's unyielding spirit of creative expression.
