Ciao World,
Not Afraid embraces a powerful violin background while Eminem faces his public with sincerity. Of course it cost Marshall Mathers a lot to face his demons, to admit his mistakes during his career path. The song unleashes loads of dynamite. It is probably one of the best songs of the album. Eminem also promises not to let his fans down. However, and despite the huge lyrical efforts set on his brand new album, we are entitled to ask: “Who are Eminem’s fans at the moment?” Undoubtedly, they are probably not the same kind of people than the ones that supported the artist a decade ago. It can be partly explained by the fact that the different albums’ tones and topics vary from album to album.
Where have the catchy beats gone, where have the mischievousness and the dark humored spirit of his former albums gone? Too many metal and rock’n roll influences spoil too many songs in my opinion. While it is true that many hip hop artists used diverse varieties of other musical genres to compose their albums, their album’s main musical base remained mostly hip hop sounding. Moreover, Recovery’s mood is morose and constantly self depreciating.
