Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds
Boomkat Product Review:
Vegyn’s breakthru solo side, now 5 years old, is a distinctive contemporary UK take on rap and instrumental hip hop, paying witness to an artist come into their own after lending production to a pair of key Frank Ocean albums - RIYL James Blake, Dean Blunt, Headache.
‘Only Diamonds Cit Diamonds’ is Vegyn’s confident declaration of arrival as a solo artist, issued at a point in between his work on two of the 2010’s defining albums, Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’ and ‘Endless’ and his subsequent chops found on Travis Scott’s ‘UTOPIA’ and ‘Astroworld’ salvos, and JPEGMafia’s ‘All My Heroes Are Cornballs’, or closer to home in his executive production of contemporary UK classics by John Glacier and Shygirl. His animated style of beta craft comes into crisp if subtly lysergic focus on 16 pieces, mostly instrumental but also studded with return favours from JPEGMafia and the voices of Jeshi and Retro X in its mercurial flow of fleeting yet ohrwurming hooks and slippery rhythms.
At this point it’s worth reiterating that Joseph Thornalley, aka Vegyn, appears to be the son of Phil Thornalley - among many things, producer of The Cure’s ‘P0rnography’ in the ‘80s and co-writer of Natalie Imbruglia's ‘Torn’ in the ‘90s - and its not hard to hear that fine honed knack for memorable hooks passed between the generations and in the DNA of ‘ODCD’. It’s there in the mix of rough but smooth on ‘Nauseous / Devilish’ and twinkling from the night-light shimmer of ‘Cowboy ALL-STAR’, secreted in the nostalgic, almost cartoonish Scotch snaps baroque of ‘Fake Life’, and trimmed to shivers of trap suss in the needlepoint arrangement of ‘When I Strike…’, for comparable to BoC gone road on ‘You Owe Me’.
