MoonLander has us soaring through the stars and landing on the moon in his latest album ‘Houston 97’ and it’s jam packed with all the goodness that makes an album truly exceptional. Ever been on a rocketship jetting to another planet?
Well, lucky for you, you don’t need to, because this artist takes you there the further you dive in. The first song on the album, ‘WOAH’ has a very even-tempered energy level as MoonLander glides through the catchy hook and gets us amped and ready for what’s to come.
The pick-me-up comes pleasantly when the second song ‘What We Doing’ plays as MoonLander gives us this very spicy presence and introduces tré ahmad as he delivers his fire hook. Our favorite song of the collection immediately follows when ‘GoodNight’ starts coming into range and you find yourself jiving with MoonLander as he lays this banger down.
One of the key factors we took notice of in this album is that the artist did such an amazing job of incorporating numerous moods, genre styles and tempos throughout, making sure his listeners will find a song that speaks to them directly. ‘Ride With It,’ one of the slow tempo songs on the album gave this perfect layer of a hook that catches you by surprise and harmonies that give ‘Ride With It’ the zest that it needed, this song was incredibly well made.
Whether you’re trying to check out Mars, put your mark on the moon or just feel something miraculous, MoonLander has truly done it all in Houston 97 and we’re here for it!
