Dramatic Change of Fortune

YNR Production present Dramatic Change Of Fortune by Cappo ‘Dramatic change of fortune in the making / A change of fate / Shit, make you change your life / Like never in your wildest dreams / Restore your faith.‘ The new album from Cappo charts a period of personal progression and creative rejuvenation. A quantum leap from what his core fan-base has become accustomed to hearing, the Nottingham-born lyricist and producer has put aside tried and tested formulas; opting instead to embrace the genre-blurring musicality that shapes contemporary ‘urban‘ pop-culture. While citing the likes of new-school rap front-runners Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky and Earl Sweatshirt as inspiration, the influence of classic literature by authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Allan Poe is equally apparent. In exploring the common ground that unites such polar influences Cappo has found his own unique and understated voice; a voice that is able to articulate universally relatable aspects of the human condition from an emotionally mature standpoint. ‘Air‘ masterfully tackles the male/female dynamic with a vocal refrain repeated in both the first person masculine and second person feminine. The introspective ‘Calf‘ examines delicate bonds between father and family. While the conclusive ‘Vinter‘ gets to the heart of the album‘s running theme; a chronicle of the artists single-minded resolve when faced with a fate that forever hangs in the balance.
