The Roots - Game Theory

Home » t » The Roots » Album» Game Theory

The Roots’ new album Game Theory, their first on Def Jam Recordings, finds the group more serious than ever. With its dark, sobering tone, this record is sure to turn heads and prove that The Roots are still on top of their game. The single, “Don’t Feel Right,” is one of the most poignant songs from the album. Kicking in hard from the first bar, this track delivers The Roots at their best. ?uestlove’s beat is impossible to resist, the piano stabs bring the funk, and Black Thought’s stinging lyrics and flawless delivery are second to none. As if anything more was necessary, the soulful Maimouna Yousef delivers the chorus with a burning conviction that feels just right. “Don’t Feel Right” will be setting dance-floors and street-corners on fire.

With the forthcoming Game Theory, The Roots have created a work that (?uestlove) Thompson calls "very mature, very serious, very dark." Game Theory includes the standout track “In The Music” as well as the singles “Don’t Feel Right” and “The Same Thing.” “The Roots' presence on {Def Jam} may persuade fans of harder-edged hip-hop to check out the band. In addition, the group's link to the storied label… sends the signal that The Roots have real hip-hop roots,” said the Wall Street Journal recently. “Artists like Outkast, Kanye West and Lauryn Hill have proved that innovative hip-hop can sell millions of albums.”
