    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.

    Much like the producer’s former offerings, Dame Fortune tries to be everything all at once, making for a good listen with occasional lapses.

    Tracks like "Your Nostalgic Heart and Lung" and "PF, Day One" find RJD2 exploring the depths of his own synth work, without a sample in sight. Granted, they are actually some of the weaker tracks on the album, but it's a step towards a more mature sound that has room to grow.
