Human Being is the third studio album by Seal, released in 1998. The title track was written about late rappers Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.[1] Human Being received mixed reviews ranging from being panned for its overtly dark and moody feel,[3] to being described in terms such as "pop perfection".[1] The album failed to sell in the same way as his 1994 multi-platinum album, Seal. However, it is a fan favourite and was inspired by his then-girlfriend, Tyra Banks and their breakup.[citation needed]
Lil Wayne is not back. Not yet. As of this writing, he's due to be released from the Eric M. Taylor Center at Rikers Island on November 4. But even when he switches from inmate #02616544L to Dwayne Carter, free man, will he return as the world beater who stunned us with mixtapes like Dedication 2 and albums like Tha Carter III or will he continue to explore (um) riskier sonic territory la Rebirth? And, considering his penchant toward exuberant rhymes and a lifestyle blissfully unaware of the word "no," will we ever see the same Wayne that stomped straight into the camera rapping "I'd rather be pushin' flowers than to be in the pen sharin' showers," in the "A Milli" video? On July 22, 2007, just hours before he would be caught with the .40 caliber pistol that would eventually land him in jail, I saw Wayne end a triumphant NYC show at the famed, fancy Beacon Theater by blaring Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" through the speakers. That night he was funny and dangerous and unpredictable. So: Even when Wayne ends his eight months of forced containment, will that Wayne really be back?

As we prepare to find out, we first get I Am Not a Human Being, an album's worth of material recorded before his jail stint and featuring some tracks originally intended for his proper return LP, Tha Carter IV. The record is supposed to act as a reminder of his existence and a precursor to his freedom. And, since it's a genuine hip-hop record with Wayne rapping most of the time, it helps to put his guitar-torturing, choke-throttling Rebirth incarnation to rest. I Am Not a Human Being is the latest in a long line of songs and videos Wayne has appeared on since entering Rikers on March 8; we've seen green-screened versions of him in clips with Eminem, along with his Young Money cohorts Drake and Nicki Minaj. These appearances are meant to show his resiliency and relevancy but oftentimes come off a little depressing-- since he's usually standing in front of an obviously phony and confined backdrop, the videos emphasize his absence more than anything else. I Am Not a Human Being draws a similarly conflicted response. He's there but he's not there.
There is one distinct upshot. The finest three songs on I Am Not a Human Being all feature the man who has quickly become Wayne's best-ever counterpart, Drake. The two rappers' contrasting qualities-- Wayne is coarse and random and hoarse while Drake is smooth and exact and clear-- bring out surprising sides of each other. On the sweet-soul track "With You", the Pretty Toney-style beat and Drake's croon draw out Wayne at his most human. Meanwhile, the superhero-synth track "Right Above It" would seemingly fit well on an idealized Tha Carter IV with Drake rhyming breathless as Wayne handles the Auto-Hook. The two have teased at a full collaborative album and, considering the tracks here-- along with worthy past collaborations like "Miss Me" and "I'm Goin' In"-- it has the potential to be one of those rare dream projects that lives up to its promise.
Speaking of Drake, he had this to say about I Am Not a Human Being when talking to MTV recently: "I think it's just a lotta Wayne songs that... you know, it's just that pre-... it's that pre-... it's that stuff that people wanna hear-- but I think Carter IV is gonna be on another level." Not really a sticker-ready quote. His hesitation is justified-- this release has neither the conceptual, lasting power of Tha Carter III nor the inspired spontaneity of Wayne's best mixtapes. And since it was recorded before such a traumatic, life-changing event, it's likely to serve more as a clearinghouse than an indication of what's to come. In one of the more lucid moments in the must-see documentary The Carter, Wayne-- then 25-- looks into his crystal ball and says, "[When I'm] 28, 29 you'll be lookin' for a Lil Wayne album to be full of rap-- the best rap. Full of singin'-- the best songs, not the best singin'. Full of music. Not just whatever you look for now." Wayne has already done better versions of almost every song on I Am Not a Human Being, which was released on his 28th birthday last week. It's not exactly what we're looking for now.
Ouch, right in the feels! Almost every song on his album has lines like these. He sings several times about his friend who is in jail and his father who passed away. In listening to this album, over and over and over again, I really feel like Lukas is my friend. I know his story, and I feel for him like he told me about his life himself. There is something so real about all Lukas Graham songs.
In a news story published by his alma mater, Castleton University, singer-songwriter Isaac French says of the title of his debut solo album, "Human Being is a double entendre to me. We all deal with struggles and heartbreaks as human beings, but it's the way you learn from them and treat others that really matters in the end."
The multi-instrumentalist plays piano, percussion and guitar in the Burlington-based acoustic trio Nina's Brew, but there's little live instrumentation on Human Being. Instead, French submitted acoustic piano demos to producer and engineer Christopher Hawthorn of Studio 150, who gave the songs an electronic pop treatment. The result is a crisp, catchy collection that evokes the joy of dance music-era Usher as well as the subdued pop-trap sound of Lykke Li's latest album, So Sad So Sexy.
Though the cover art for Human Being, a painting by Nina's Brew bandmate Giovanina Bucci, is beautiful, it doesn't convey the album's sexiness and buoyancy. This isn't just a guy at a piano. It's an invitation to an experience, an opportunity to dance and sing one's way to a better self.
Lenny Kravitz: As we mature, I think going deeper is essential. We're all spiritual beings, but we're having this human experience here on this earth. We're all given a gift. I believe we're all given a unique gift and some of us don't hit the marks or get all of that gift. We either don't accept it, we don't see it, we don't understand it or we're busy looking at somebody else and liking what they have. We want then to have what they have and therefore you miss your mark. So, for me, it's really about authenticity. I believe that we're our most powerful when we're authentic. So I'm just trying to go deeper, walk on my road to my destiny and just continue learning and improving on this path.
Kravitz: Just continually learning about myself and about how I can be a better human, being, more positive, more loving, more accepting, more forgiving, more everything. And celebrating every day. Every day is a gift. My day begins by being extremely grateful for just waking up and having another opportunity to get closer to that thing, This record was interesting. When you talk about this record specifically, I got to go back while going forward and celebrate a time in my life that I never celebrated, which was that time during high school, before Let Love Rule. This record very much represents the music I was making at that time. I think that happened because I'd written this book called Let Love Rule that came out at the beginning of the pandemic. While writing the book for the years before, and then while promoting the book during the pandemic, I spoke a lot about those years, my teenage years, where I was searching. Of course, then I got my download of the music from Let Love Rule. That was my first expression. So, everything that happened before that, nobody ever heard. That's where I was more in that time in the 80s with my drum machines and synthesizers and different digital effects that were coming out at that time and also mixed with real instruments with acoustic instruments. But that music that I made at that time was never heard. So, this record is that. We'
Kravitz: I think I've always been sort of in this place, but obviously more focused now. And I think I've always been in this place. Love is what I ultimately believe in more than anything, and I know that love is the ultimate power. It amazes me that we don't see that as human beings, that we fight it, and we want to go every other direction.
This is a glorious return, More coherent maybe, an album that really holds together in a way that previous album might not quite have done, a complex revivification indeed, properly adventurous, a challenge as much to themselves as us, properly progressive prog that never feels safe enough to place in any lazy pigeonhole, just proper proper, a film for your ears, a film for your hearts and minds, welcome back Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, we missed you.

The new album found the group recording in Chicago legend Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studios and reunited them with acclaimed Arctic Monkeys producer Jim Abbiss. The re-vamped experience brought a rich sound and depth toTerrible Human Beings, a record that details everything from tour party lifestyles to their love-hate relationship with hometown fans.
Orwells frontman Mario Cuomo and guitarist Matt O'Keefe recently stopped by the VICE office in LA for an episode of Noisey Radio on Beats 1 to break down crafting the album and the stories behind some of their biggest new hits. Listen to the episode here and read on for an extended version of the interview below.
Matt O'Keefe: Yeah, It's been a pretty slow year. We recorded the album in February 2016, and It's gonna come out February 2017, so there's a lot of time just sitting around and not doing anything in between. 0852c4b9a8
