Big Boi: Sir Luscious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty

Big Boi's nimble electro-soul is inventive and easy on the ear, says Kitty Empire
  
  


OutKast's last album proper was composed of two tremendous solo albums, Big Boi's Speakerboxxx and Andre 3000's The Love Below; each OutKast subsequently spent valuable interview time denying a rift. Their trial separation looks ever more permanent with this release. Repeatedly delayed, this Big Boi solo outing feels precisely like it has been drifting around for a while, waiting for momentum. "Shutterbug" is just that gust of wind – a nimble electro-soul track that sounds like Gorillaz with better opposable thumbs. And while Luscious doesn't rise to any more big occasions, it is consistently inventive and easy on the ear.
