Starflam - Bled Runner

Review by Robson Sena

Bled Runner, the fourth studio album by Belgian hip-hop group Starflam, was released in 2005 and received mixed reviews from critics. The album consists of 15 tracks and features collaborations with various artists such as Akro, Fredy K and Faf Larage.

The album opens with the title track "Bled Runner," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy beats and aggressive rhymes. The second track, "La Sonora," features a Latin-inspired beat and catchy chorus, while "La Vie Du Bounia" is a more laid-back track that showcases the group's storytelling abilities.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Sonnerie," which features a haunting piano melody and introspective lyrics about the struggles of life. Another highlight is "Le Temps D'Un Instant," a collaboration with French rapper Faf Larage that combines French and Belgian hip-hop styles.

While Bled Runner has its share of strong tracks, the album as a whole lacks cohesion and suffers from a lack of variety in its sound. Many of the tracks feature similar beats and rhyming styles, making it difficult for them to stand out from each other.

Summary by Robson Sena

Bled Runner is a solid effort from Starflam, but it falls short of their previous albums in terms of innovation and creativity. Fans of Belgian hip-hop and Starflam will find plenty to enjoy on this album, but those looking for something new and exciting may be disappointed.
