Their music has an 80s flair while retaining a modern edge. Their album, Flames &amp; Figures, was a sensational auditory rollercoaster. The cover art alone drew me in. Lalin St. Juste (lead singer of the band) posed in front of a baby pink background while showcasing her fabulous afro and profile proudly. The pink and teal color scheme of the album communicates feelings of life and youth. There wasn\u2019t a track that I found drab or repetitive on the album. I saw this to be a great achievement because electronic music has a tendency to get repetitive if the composer is not careful. The tracks that stood out to me were: \u201cFlames &amp; Figures\u201d, \u201cPeriphery\u201d, \u201cSpectacle\u201d and \u201cAll I Know\u201d. At some points in the album, there seemed to be an ethereal\/otherworldly vibe going on; it definitely added a sense of uniqueness to their tracks. The vocals are smooth like silk and glide over the undulating melodies and harmonies. It\u2019s simply a delight that The Seshen has Flame &amp; Figures to offer to the ever growing music scene. It\u2019s fresh, fast paced and simply incomparable to anything that I\u2019ve ever listened to.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: FKA Twigs, Solange, Santigold<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 6 (Flames &amp; Figures), 10 (Periphery), 3 (Spectacle), 12 (All I Know)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: none<br \/>\nWritten by Tabitha Moore on 11\/27\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s fresh, fast paced and simply incomparable to anything that I\u2019ve ever listened to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15734,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182,4,3235,3230],"tags":[2503,3055,965,5229,6394],"class_list":["post-53300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","tag-electronic","tag-rb","tag-san-francisco","tag-tabitha-moore","tag-the-seshen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15734"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53300\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
