ALBUM REVIEW: Michael Joseph Green – ‘PULP’
Ever since he first broke through with his vibrant debut LP ‘When All Else Fails’ in 2020, Canadian artist Michael Joseph Green has established himself as one of the more dynamic and prolific names doing the rounds. With a new batch of material every few months since then, his output has been this broad and explorative affair that always looks to push the boundaries of his own enigmatic style. And after another flurry of new releases throughout the last few months, he returns once again with his fourth studio album ‘PULP’, a record that continues that inventive streak once again.
Much like his tenure to date, ‘PULP’ looks to set itself as an inviting and diverse listening experience. Combining glossy pop-rock aesthetics with some harder and more passionate moments throughout, this new twelve-track collection is a riveting dive into some of his most emotive offerings yet. With each track its own progressive story within the album’s greater narrative, Green finds himself in a brilliantly innovative guise here as he looks to build upon his illustrious foundations with style and aplomb at every turn.
Usually when an artist creates new material this frequently, one can expect a dip in quality from time to time, but ‘PULP’ sees him more ambitious than ever. Delivering this pulsing energy with every new cut, Michael Joseph Green is returning to the fold with some of his most captivating work to date here.
