Imbued with love, honesty and selflessness. “The Good Fight” is virtuosic
in its musicality, direct it its language, and infinitely relatable. For
Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without
succumbing to the traps of hedonism avarice and materialism. It’s music that
yields an intangible feeling; the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns,
or a cymbal crash. It’s a mediation on our capacity to love and the bonds
binding us together. Oddisee’s production simmers it it’s own orchestra
lgumbo. You sense he’s really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the
spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats. The Fader’s compared him to a
musical MC Escher, hailing his “grandiose and symphonic sounds”
and “relevant relatable messages.” Pitchfork praised his “electric soulful
boom-bap”
“The Good Fight” acknowledges the stacked odds, but refuses to submit.
