Sex Style

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Under the guise of über-mack Big Willie Keith, Kool Keith has composed an album that is so over-the-top nasty, you might want to handle it with surgical gloves. Sex Style plays like an amateur porn film, and Keith has kindly included explicit samples from adult films that bump ugly against tracks like "Don't Crush It," "Lovely Lady," and "Plastic World." Keith calls the album "pornocore," an experiment in sexual excess that more than delivers on its premise. Expect some very scratchy, woofer-shaking funk that you'll definitely want to roll with. Only problem is, even the hardest listener might feel too embarrassed to blow the nasty vocal drip from this album out of his car speakers. --Todd Levin

perfection...oh yeah!.......2007-07-23

this cd nears perfection as close as any cd (lp, album, 8-track; whatever) has ever before - forget the white album, folks. the raspy sexy siren vocals harmonize with big band groove and swing and jazz like no ever women has before, with an attitude that ANY women can relate to - each song has its perfect blend & is so different, yet so beautifully executed as the next. Give it to your boyfriends girls, cuz they always fail you & no one embodies it better than devil doll. Sheer perfection. Really. Gals - you'll sing along out loud & guys, you'll love it too. BUY IT!!

Great CD!.......2007-01-11

I like this CD a lot. She's like Fiona Apple but with the essence of an earlier era. Rockin' and soulful. I like it.

awesome.......2006-01-30

This album is great. Colleen is a great singer and the music is exceptional. My most favorite songs are: "St. Christopher" "It Was Raining" "King of Brooklyn" "Liquor Store" "Left" and "If I Died In Your Arms". I don't really like "Walk With Me" but its not torture.

Punky lounge singer???.......2006-01-04

Too bad there are some folks out there ripping this album, because they thought it was someone else. Oh well, that's the way some folks are...

Anyway, this is a pretty solid album. Pretty diverse selection of styles... Wouldn't be surprised to hear some of this in a nice nightclub or a seedy strip bar. On a few tunes, she really belts it out! It's smoky, sexy, jazzy, punkish, brassy, b#llsy, b$tchy with a pinch of burlesque-y gurl power. Total of 18 tracks, but would have been better if they cut a few off. It's an excellent listen, but some of the songs start to run together, simply because there are so many. Personal favorite is track 2, "You Are the Best Thing and the Worst Thing". Check it out. If you made it this far to find this album, then you will probably like it.

Wicked fun.......2005-12-30

Stumbled across this CD and it hasn't let me go since! She has amazing vocals, and the songs are catchy and haunting. Favorite tracks include Heart Sized Crush and King of Brooklyn, but I love them all! On constant replay in my car, at home, and at work.

Kool Keith's best.......2007-05-05

For reference, I am a 30 year old white girl :-) This record would be a great place to start, as an introduction to Kool Keith. I have listened to just about all of his work and think this record is a great example of his style as an artist. Kool Keith is continually pushing the boundaries and always comes up with something that is unique - this record is a great example, I challenge you to find another one like it! On "Sex Style" Keith presents some "pornocore" that is just awesomely ridiculous. He is a true original. All of his personas are interesting but I find this incarnation the most visionary, and true to himself. No wonder he ended up collaborating with other geniuses like Mike Patton (Peeping Tom) and Dan the Automator... he's making music that is real. That's the simplest way to describe it. As far as the songs, they are all catchy and the lyrics are really awesome. The best ones are "Sex Style," "Make up Your Mind," "Sly we Fly," and "Get off my Elevator." But the crowning moment of genius is "Keep it Real.. Represent." There are some lyrics here that are sexual and if that would offend you, then stay away. But if you want to hear some rap that is totally different than anything else out there, you must check this out, it's an underground classic. "alt-rap" if you will... he doesn't always rhyme but his flow belongs only to him. Throw all your ideas about what rap music 'should be' or 'used to be' or whatever, and with an open mind, realize that kool keith doesn't fit any mold, or follow any conventions, and the results are sublime! "Sex Style" remains one of my top favorite records of all time and for anyone looking for something different, just take a chance and give this one a spin., I don't see how you could be disappointed.

Pure Kool Keith style, right on top!.......2005-04-29

Now being a fan of Kool Keith's Dr. Octagonecologyst, you usually find it hard to put this on top of Octagonecologyst, but I just have to do it. It's real good. Awesome album. If you're a Kool Keith and you don't got this, you're missing out probably one of the biggest or the biggest itself, who knows. Kool Keith is still making albums and may just impress us over Sex Style. But, it's hard to see how he can do that if he reaaaaally rocked it and funked heads up...

Pornocore!

Sex Style !!!.......2004-11-02

Kool Keith is one of the greatest MC's ever, there's no doubt about it, and this album proves it. Sex Style is one of the greatest, if u haven't heard it already - get it. Also get Dr Octagon and Dr Dooom. 3 Essential Kool Keith albums. Anyway, Kool Keith is right on target on this album. The title says it all - Sex Style. The whole album contains sex lyrics, but he's an awesome lyricist, and these 'sex rhymes' only prove that. And the beats are some of the best you'll hear. If you've slept on this album for the last 7 years, don't continue. Go to your local record store and pick this up. Or, if u can't find it, pick it up off the net (u are boudn to find it somewhere). Best tracks are Sex Style, Sly We Fly, Plastic World, Dont Crush It, Little Girls, and Keep It Real. Bottom line is Kool Keith is better than any mainstream radio crap we hear, and his lyrics are some of the best you can ever hear, so if whatever crazy reason u dont have this already, cop this if u ever get the chance to.

Camera on? OK, now follow me........2003-06-02

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wild and crazy world of Kool Keith's .... If you're easily offended by choruses that speak on pulling the draws off girls, or representing one's own testicles, then maybe Sex Style isn't in your best interest. If you're looking for an album overflowing with "naked" lyrics, crammed with absurdity, and a dash of emcee criticism, look no further.

From the selective skits, to the enigmatic yet genius wordplay of Kool Keith, back around to Kutmaster Kurt's masterminded production, one can't help but come to the conclusion Sex Style is one hell of an album. Keith takes the listener on an epidemic journey packed with STD's, unprotected sex, pornographic stage shows, groupie festivities, and everything amid in this "Plastic World." Kutmaster Kurt doesn't give as great a show as The Automator's flawless production on Kool Keith's Dr. Octagon, or his own sinister sounds found on Kool Keith's Dr. Dooom, but Sex Style's instrumental value is nothing less than inestimable. Tracks such as Make Up Your Mind and Keep It Real define some very notable highlights of Kurt's career.

Keith's flow is similar to the one that can be found on Ultra's Big Time album, mixed with a hint of lime. Keith's lyrics are witty, the wordplay, pure genius. Patent rhymes can be found throughout the entire album, that only Keith can bring. In all honestly, Kool Keith fan or not, you can't go wrong with Sex Style.

WHO KNEW?.......2003-05-31

KOOL KEITH DOES IT AGAIN! WACKY RHYMES THAT MAKE ABSTRACT SENSE DIPPED IN HOT FUDGY BEATS!NO RAPPER CAN COME CLOSE TO KOOL KEITH'S FIELD. DEFINITELY ONE FOR THE HEAD-BOBBERS!

Get hypnotized with Ondine Darcyl.......2000-11-13

A great friend of mine, a wonderful Brazilian jazz musician, suggested I check out this CD. I took him out for Brazilian food after I finally got around to hearing it, as a thank you! I wish I hadn't waited so long. I now regularly listen to it, whenever I need some peace. (Often!) The music and her voice bring me far away from daily life, when that is what I crave. I read a review somewhere about her voice being "hypnotic". As a certified hypnotherapist, I feel qualified to respond to that. Yes! The lilt of her voice soothes me immediately, and I close my eyes, letting her bring me into a wonderful state of relaxation. Many of the songs are familiar to me, which I appreciate, since I don't speak many of the languages in which she sings. As a bonus, listening to some French, Spanish, and Portuguese makes me feel like I am expanding myself culturally...While I still highly recommend hypnotherapy, in a pinch, use this!

Nothing New.......2000-11-01

I was asked by the artist via email to review this album. After reading the trade reviews and seeing the songlist, I decided to take a chance on it. Honestly I must say that I was disappointed upon hearing it. There is nothing new here in arrangement or style that gives it a compelling reason to be heard. Darcyl's voice is weak at best, though it is not without promise. The puff-piece in the liner notes compares her to Astrud Gilberto. I don't consider that flattering, I never cared much for her voice though her rendition of Corcovado is superior to Darcyl's. The song selection is all over the map. Even among the Latin titles, Besame Mucho is out of place when paired with Garota de Ipanema and Chega de Saudade. She is backed by DiMeola ex Hernan Romero whose instrumentation is uninspired and only just adequate. The album reminds me of something that one might hear from a hotel lounge act, where the musicians are providing a pleasant and unobtrusive backdrop to whatever the patrons are talking amongst themselves about. I think that Darcyl's approach would work much better if she were backed by a combo. If you like the lounge-act approach to music, then this album should appeal to you. If you do not, forget about it.
