    Regardless of the constantly evolving mood, RJ finds new ways to surprise and engage your ears.

    Dame Fortune is a culmination album with an artist's evolution pushing things forward with all his strengths in tow. Check Dead Ringer for that debut spark, and look to this one for something more skilled, bigger, but just as free-spirited.

    In Dame Fortune, RJD2 engineers a set of compulsions that similarly evolve before you, and while no boundary is pushed here, his acute sense of sonic craftsmanship shows no sign of depreciating.

    In short, a breezy DJ set attuned for meditative easy listening. When this approach clicks, the results are nothing less than sumptuous, a rich panorama of material organized by an artist whose greatest talents seem to lie in curation.

    The hastiness and outlandishness of the swerving soundscapes are the album’s strengths and it’s weaknesses, simultaneously keeping a listener enticed and running them ragged. Such zeal keeps Krohn’s final destination on the horizon, just out of reach.

    As usual, it features some reliably masterful beat work and production, but, at the same time, falls somewhat short in becoming the grand defining statement that its creator was intending it to be.

    RJD2 has made a bold statement with Dame Fortune but sadly one lacking in much resonance.
