Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Wale’s latest full-length offering, Wow... That’s Crazy, is the seasoned lyricist’s sixth studio album over the past decade. We know little about Wow... That’s Crazy outside of its relationship-centric theme, an approach that isn’t new territory for Wale. From the classic, Stevie Wonder-sampled “Break-Up Song” to the chart-rising, Jeremiah-featured single “On Chill,” the consistent appearance of relationship themes in Wale’s discography has made the D.C. rap star one of hip-hop’s most romantic wordsmiths.
User Album Review
The Wale on Wow... That’s Crazy knows himself well. He knows the production that benefits his lyricism; he knows the features that complement his songwriting. Every sound and voice complements the world he’s creating; a world that is sonically lush and lyrically transparent.
Transparency makes Wow... That’s Crazy one of Wale’s most focused albums. Only the lively “BGM” and the trap-inspired “Routine” break off from Wale’s reflective introspection. Though Wow... That’s Crazy doesn’t tell us anything new about his struggles with fame and mental health, Wale’s confessions sound carefully candid this time around. Confessions straight from one of his therapy sessions.
Wow... That’s Crazy turns self-reflection into easy-listening. Wale is growing old and getting better without losing sight of what has made his art special for the last ten years.
