As I’m sure all my fellow bass heads are well aware we are just three days away from the release of Bassnectar’s newest album Vava Voom. The eleven track album features collaborations with a great list of artist including Lupe Fiasco, Amp Live, Jantsen, Mimi Page, Tina Malia, and ill.Gates. Thus far two singles for the album have been released, the first was Ugly, which features Amp Live. This track is free directly from Bassnectar.net which is also where you can pre-order the full album. The second single is Vava Voom the title track which features Lupe Fiasco, one of my favorite hip-hop vocalists and a perfect match for this track. The Bassnectar Labs team put all the tracks up on YouTube in a play list so all you bass heads can listen before the album is out on Tuesday.

After a first listen I feel this is another great landmark in Lorin’s career, a well crafted album from start to finish. There’s just far too many great tracks to pick favorites, but I definitely suggest Empathy, Do It Like This (feat. ill.Gates), Ping Pong, and the beautiful Butterfly (feat. Mimi Page). I have been a Bassnectar fan for a long time and he was one of the first electronic artist who’s music I fell in love with. Therefor I was ecstatic when I first heard he was reworking Laughter Crescendo originally from Mesmerizing the Ultra, and the new 2012 version is awesome. Doesn’t lose the original feel and reminds long time bass heads that Lorin remembers his roots. Vava Voom also features a rework of a rock song much like the remix of Immigraniada in his last album. This time Bassnectar pays tribute to Pennywise and takes his blend of rock and bass music up another notch.

Theres no doubt this album has everything a true bass head needs, and just in time for the Vava Voom tour! All the tour dates are listed below and includes huge events and shows all over the country. Two nights at Red Rocks, both Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas and New York, Electric Forest, Camp Bisco, Lightning in a Bottle, Bass Canter V and VI the list is stacked and shows are selling out fast! I look forward to seeing all my fellow bass heads for two great nights at Red Rocks and can’t wait to hear what you all think of the album. Enjoy it everyone!
