Review from the Synthesis

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Josh Martinez gives the disclaimer that this album is "summer music," the kind you put in the player, light up the grill and kick back with friends, and he's right. Midriff Music is a mix of mellow beats and fluffy lyrics, each song more upbeat than the last. The album includes the futuristic yet soulful sounding "One More Sucka," the funky old school throwback "Played Out" featuring Kunga and "Tranzar," which combines melodic humming with Spanish guitar. But it is the remix to "Nightmare" that, if a true look at what is to come from this Canadian born artist, is quite promising. The bottom line: it's summertime, and this is the perfect accent to lazy days of lying in the hammock with a beer in hand.
