Musician Maps hones classic electronic sounds on new release 'Vicissitude'

Does classic Electronic Pop music still have a voice in today's dominating world of chart-topping celebrity disc-jockey based electronic music? Music solo act Maps, aka James Chapman, certainly makes a mark with his new music release Vicissitude.

Chapman adheres to a classic esthetic form, for his third studio release, of electronic music that fittingly directs the listener to a sonic palate made popular and reminiscent of two decades past. The voyage begins here with track "A.M.A," also the first single release off Vicissitude, which opens the pace to a sonic palate of swooning melodies, atmospheric synths lines, ethereal vocals, and late 80's to early 90's rhythms and tonal moods. Lyrically, Chapman focuses on reflective themes to balance the direction of the release. Besides lead single "A.M.A," "I Heard Them Say" is another highlighted track that has the potential markings of a secondary single release. Uptempo tracks, such as "Built To Last," " The Summer," and album namesake "Vicissitude," are a numbers that adds a uplift to the overall mix.

Maps' Vicissitude, available in both standard and deluxe music digital formats, is a sonic reverie worth an ear.
