Wes Carroll Confabulation’s new album “Helium” is a fantastic mix of soul and jazz music. The album has clever lyrics, strong beats, and thoughtful music arrangements. Wes Carroll’s singing style is special, combining rap and melody in a way that makes him stand out in the music. The album “Helium” features nine songs that explore various themes such as financial struggles, humorous sex jokes, the essence of masculinity, feelings of distraction, hopelessness, and unconventional love.
This album is different from the band’s old music because it has new sounds, like slide guitar and vibraphones, that go well with the horns. The album is very personal and helps listeners feel their emotions, laugh, and relax. The album starts with “Put It On”, a song about men trying out different gender roles with a mix of rapping and singing by Carroll and swirling horns. Next is “Lost Look”, a jazzy soul song about a lover who’s distracted, with clever lyrics and a long guitar solo. Then there’s “What’s On My Mind”, a love song like the classic “My Funny Valentine”, where the singer loves his partner even with their flaws. The album has more songs, including “Feather”, a fun hip-hop song about playing with feathers in a flirtatious way.
The title track, “Helium”, talks about tough things in life, like money problems and mental health. “So Beautiful” is a melancholy love song that explores the concept of loving someone who does not reciprocate the affection for you. “On New Year’s Day” is about feeling joyful and sad at the same time during celebrations. “When I Start My Day” is about feeling depressed in the morning, and “Wishing Well” is about struggling to express your emotions. “Helium” shows that Wes Carroll Confabulation is excellent at combining planned music parts with a natural, energetic feel. You can now listen to or buy the album on all major music platforms. Listen to “Helium” and discover the unique sound of the Wes Carroll Confabulation.
