DJ Shadow only has 28,693 friends on MySpace. (Which reminds me, Brian McKnight has not yet accepted my friend request, WTF Bri?) According to Shadow’s site, here is how the new album, The Outsider (to be released September 12th) will sound:
“The Outsider is a record that will confound those who believed they had Shadow pigeonholed. Working with several different vocalists, and in styles spanning everything from hyphy, the Bay Area’s newest hip hop hybrid, to folk; from aggressive hardcore rock to left-field alternative dance music, the album is an almost schizophrenic collection from an artist to whom loving music and making music are just two sides of the same coin.”
