DA’s 2023 Album of the Year: @RLGRIME - ‘PLAY’ 👑

Our full reasoning: https://t.co/VbUgZKM15c

In 2023, RL Grime did far more than just reaffirm his seat on trap’s throne.

Five years separated the Sable Valley boss’ second and third albums, and during that time, Grime had come to the conclusion that playing it safe was not something he wanted to do. And in a year rife with album ingenuity, one project stood above the rest when all was said and done: 'PLAY.'

'PLAY' splits a towering 21 productions across three sections, with each representing a distinct style; whereas APEX leans into the classic brand of trap that prompted Grime’s early-2010’s reign, GRID sits in crossover territory, while RUSH undeniably stands out as the most experimental of the three. Although each segment can certainly hold its own, when combined, they comprise one of the single most ambitious, innovative projects that the dance/electronic scene has seen in recent memory, let alone in 2023.

After years of fan anticipation, it’s likely that many listeners would have been happy to have a new album regardless of its style. And Grime could easily have sat comfortably within his wheelhouse on his junior album. His decision to subvert convention, striking a balance between pushing boundaries and appealing to his early-career audience, is the center of our 2023 Album of the Year reasoning.

The time between 'NOVA' and 'PLAY' gave Grime the opportunity to make a statement and extend a legacy that already seats him in this genre’s hall of greats. A two- or even a three-piece concept album, like 'PLAY,' is virtually unheard of in dance music, and among a countless number of compelling candidates in 2023, RL Grime outmatched the competition.

‘PLAY' as a whole is an open-and-shut masterclass of what Grime is capable of that offers a first-hand look at his growth and maturation over the past five years while evoking the very feeling that hooked us when we listened to any of his past work for the first time. And that's why RL Grime's 'PLAY' now earns the title of Dancing Astronaut's 2023 Album of the Year.
