Abdullah Siddiqui has done it again. On the heels of his second album, Heterotopia, he’s released Dead Beat Poets, this third collection of the stories he tells through his songs, without a break in between. Dead Beat Poets also marks a departure from Abdullah using obscure Greek words to describe the complex nature of each of his albums.
Listening to one of the first songs from this incredibly prolific artist’s album, Video Game, one can understand why the album is called Dead Beat Poets. Embodying his signature style, the lyrics are incredibly complex and speak in metaphors, allowing the listeners to deduce what they will. But in this album, he turns even that mystery up a notch or two.
