Future’s Freewheeling EP ‘Save Me’: The king of the vocoder blues rappers delivers a surprisingly experimental release
— his first solo EP ever — works beautifully alongside modern SoundCloud rap. The title “Save Me” was once used by XXXTentacion on a song that snuck onto the Hot 100; the genre-crossing album cover looks like it came from art-punk label Sacred Bones; the songs are often short and warble like alt-rock ballads. The whole thing has a run-time of about 20 minutes.
There is a real adventurous spirit these lithe, freewheeling bummer-bot jams. His voice, famously augmented by Auto-Tune, is occasionally completely engulfed and transformed like the work of avant-tronic artists like Arca, Sophie or Amnesia Scanner. Opener “Xanax Damage” distends his robo-rasp into ambient slurry and screwed weirdness, all capturing some of his mental state: “Baby, when the sun is out, it’s like I’m not myself.
“Shotgun,” produced by the late Seth Firkins and Detail is yearning mutant R&B, Future voice reaching like a Codeine-soaked Teddy Pendegrass. And “Please Tell Me” and “Government Official” are Future Classic, complete with woodwind melodies and intercontinental boasts , to keep this thing from going completely past Pluto.
