Heroin And Helicopters (LP)
Citizen Cope
Amoeba Review
09/03/2020
Clarence Greenwood of Citizen Cope returns after a 6-year hiatus with his sixth studio album, Heroin and Helicopters, a set of songs that address the dark nature of society but push for optimism. “The River” is a jangly ballad that showcases Greenwood's sincere, guttural vocals. “Justice” rides along on a shuffling groove and breaks down into a melodic, soulful chorus. With contributions from the likes of James Poyser from The Roots and Michael "Funky Ned" Neal of Rare Essence, the album embraces Greenwood's distinctive mash-up of R&B, folk and soul.
