Music reviews of Windmills of the Soul
Music Review: I found love in the right place with Kero One
Rating: 5 Stars
When I was in high school, my friend took me to an major league baseball game--watched from her family's box. It changed my perception of baseball completely. Having previously only seen the game from the bleachers or on TBS, I never realized that there were so many different ways you can enjoy the game. The box was, of course, the highlight of baseball watching for me.
Similiarly, this album gave me a whole new and highlighted perspective on hip hop...and I love it. Because of Windmills of the Soul, I immediately fell in love with this genre. I have listen to this album everywhere (at work, while I'm falling asleep, in the car, etc) and it's one of those albums that will always create the exact mood that you're looking for no matter where you take it.
Some of my favorite tracks on this album are Give Thanks, Keep it Alive, and In All the Wrong Places. I love the smooth, jazzy melodies that are carefully crafted in every track. You can tell he put some thought into this.
This is an album that I will be coming back to in years to come. Great for people who wants to explore a new genre of hip hop and for those of you who have been lucky enough to already discovered it.

Description of Windmills of the Soul
Often compared to the sounds of Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, and Common, Kero One is a full time deejay, producer, musician, rapper, and record label owner from San Francisco. Kero One s professional career began when he released his first single in 2003 called Check the Blueprints . The single unexpectedly sold 9,000 units worldwide with funding from only a personal credit card and hardly any marketing push from outside sources. Five 12" singles later comes Windmills of The Soul, Kero One's long anticipated debut LP, running 13 tracks strong. Released in Japan several months earlier, Windmills of The Soul has reached #2 of 200 on the hip hop HMV and Tower Records charts, plus held the title in the top 100 hiphop downloaded Itunes Albums for 3 months straight.With the Windmills LP, one can expect more timeless jazz meets hip hop energy that many have come to enjoy from Kero One. Going further than just reconstructing samples, Kero One also plays a variety of instruments on the album (moog synths, fender Rhodes, bass etc.) and brings in live session players paired with vocalists to blend the organic feel of live musicianship with the rawness of sample based hip hop.
On the lyrical side, Kero One rhymes about real life stories and topics that have helped define his character and musical career.
