High Off Life

High Off Life provides a powerful soundtrack of tortured hedonism illustrated with painterly details. This is a production with beautiful details and a sad melody. It consists of exotic cars painted in candy-colored hues, casually worn designer sandals, women treated as disposables, and drugs sold and consumed.

It is possible to find songs that sparkle like suitcases of diamonds and suitable pieces as soundtracks to crime dramas. Furthermore, you should select songs that will sound great when distorted to the level of basslines blaring from passing cars. The High Off Life album is better-paced and structured than most of Future’s recent releases. Except for the previously released singles interspersed with the other tracks under industry norms, it glides smoothly.

During interviews, Future described his previous album, The Wizrd, as a defining moment of his career. This sets the stage for his forthcoming project. Unfortunately, High Off Life lacks this significant shift, although we gain a few new ideas from it.
