![]() “American You” is a lovely record and like everything else, quite unexpected. From the get-go, Yela is on another planet, and to quote Jack Nicholson via Mars Attacks, “Ain’t that ain’t bad!” “American You” “Change” is equally alluring as the majority of the record is sung before Yelawolf explodes with fiery rhymes. ![]() “Outer Space” kicks things off with a bang, capturing the listener’s attention with its ample profanity and unique production. This characterization separates Yelawolf from the multitude, not to mention executive producer Eminem. Throughout its course, Yelawolf poses himself as something of a southern hip-hop cowboy, hence including elements of rock, singer/songwriter fare, and country. Arguably none of them seem prime candidates to ‘breakthrough,’ but with commercial aspirations set aside, Yelawolf has made an album that’s easily worthy of partaking. ![]() Instead, Love Story is an eclectic effort with some truly enticing moments. Regardless, if Yelawolf was aiming for a commercial album, Love Story isn’t it. Whether 2015 is Yelawolf’s time, only time and sales will tell. “One, my last record flopped / two, it wasn’t my time.” If it wasn’t known, Yelawolf makes listeners aware: It’s no shock that Alabaman rapper Yelawolf’s first major label tanked. Love Story proves to be a stark contrast to his debut LP, Radioactive. Yelawolf delivers a fine sophomore album with Love Story.
