<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Majestic Casual YouTube channel is
something of an internet success story, coming from an age where radio shows
and DJs are slowly being phased out as tastemakers and providers of
undiscovered artists, instead, code and algorithms have seemingly stepped into
the role through prompts and suggestions of artists similar to those we’ve
taken a liking to. But even with such advancements in how we currently discover
music, none of these have quite managed to package it into a singular
experience with the keen eye of an art gallery curator quite like Majestic
Casual. They’ve amassed a following well into the millions with their channel
serving as a celebration of pop-leaning electronic music, tasteful photography,
typography and warm colour palettes. This success has culminated in the channel
releasing their first ever compilation album a year ago, normally a feat only
achieved by connected industry insiders and record labels. On the back of that
achievement, they’ve now released their second instalment with an impressive
tracklisting boasting everything from synth-pop darlings CHVRCHES and Empire of
The Sun, summery house takes on AlunaGeorge and Banks and even the self aware
geek-rap of Childish Gambino. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA">The laid back, instagram-filtered feel is
relatively consistent over the 2 discs with the first taking off immediately
into the warm pop-meets-house territory that you’d expect in a world where
Disclosure have become a household name before dipping into slower indie hues
with Panama and South Africa’s own Clubfeet (Apologies to the other Australian
band members) touching on more melancholic, coastal undertones. The first disc
then swing briefly into more R&B tinted gems like frequent SBTRKT
collaborator, Sampha’s acoustic take on his hit with Drake, ‘Too Much’ before
bowing out with another ballad by talented songwriter </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">AOSOON’s ‘Under’ hitting on a feel reminiscent of
Daughter’s ‘Youth.’<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s similar fare on the
second disc, hitting off with Tourist’s captivating remix of CHVRCHES’ ‘Liar.’
That absolute summer staple ‘Giving It All’ by Bondax features as well along
with Sam Smith and Nile Rodgers being brought together by Disclosure on
‘Together’ a song so inherently sensual you’d be left having to change your bed
sheets. Before you can recover though, Full Crate’s ‘Man x Woman’ delivers the
knockout blow with its soulful crooning and a breakdown that could bring anyone
to their knees. Much of the rest of the disc remains impressively consistent,
managing to keep the listener engaged throughout despite worries that the
novelty would wear off by this stage of the second disc. Towards the tail end
it touches briefly on Childish Gambino at his most vulnerable on ‘Flight of The
Navigator’ and the rather deliberate ‘The Last Song’ by Misch & Carmody
placed as the compilation closer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Overall, Majestic
Chapter 2 manages to effectively capture a very specific aesthetic and emotion
perhaps best suited for winding down the summer months. Much like its
predecessor, despite initially seeming like a Tumblr-savvy hipster’s wet dream,
it remains one of the few compilations I could recommend to anyone, young or
old. </span><span lang="EN-ZA"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
