Outkast - ATLiens
Review by Jos É
ATLiens, the second studio album by American hip-hop duo Outkast, is a masterpiece of its time. Released in 1996, the album was a huge commercial success, peaking at number two on the US Billboard 200 and producing hit singles such as "Elevators (Me & You)" and "ATLiens."
The album showcases the unique style of Outkast, blending Southern hip-hop with funk, soul, and electronic music. The lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, touching on themes of alienation, spirituality, and the struggles of growing up in the South.
The production on ATLiens is top-notch, with Outkast's own Andre 3000 and Big Boi handling most of the beats. The album also features collaborations with other notable producers such as Organized Noize and Mr. DJ.
