My apologies, this review is long overdue. But to those of you that have no clue about this project, it’ll be right on time. Amerigo Gazaway returns with a very seminal project, one that will continue to shape the format of the evolving mash-up. From his Soul Mates series, Yasiin Gaye: The Departure (Side One) is the undeniable union of the divided soul singer Marvin Gaye and the artist formerly known as Mos Def, Yasiin Bey. If you weren’t a believer in soul mates, this pairing will dispel your disbelief. The Departure blends the two artists so seamlessly, it’s as if they were creating simultaneously in the studio.
