Američki producent indijskog podrijetla KSHMR priprema se za objavljivanje svojega debitantskog albuma pa ga svakako ne možemo kriviti za to što osjeća uzbuđenje i ponos. No ne manjka mu ni osjetnijeg optimizma, a neki bi dodali ni bahatosti, jer je svoj nadolazeći album već sad – i to, ponovimo, on sam – proglasio “jednim od najambicioznijih, možda čak i najboljih elektroničkih albuma svih vremena”.
Iako će se mnogi složiti kako je KSHMR već napravio mnoge sjajne stvari u razvoju elektronike, te su tvrdnje na Twitteru izazvale i malu buru negodovanja. Dok neki misle da se svojim radom smije i mora ponositi, drugi smatraju kako su takve procjene prilično neutemeljene i nimalo skromne.
Drugi dio autorove izjave onaj je koji je ljude više naljutio jer kaže: “Znam da zvuči ludo, ali jednostavno ne mogu zamisliti da vas itko drugi može povesti na ovakvo putovanje, pa ni samo se potruditi.” Insinuacija da se drugi producenti i autori ne trude dovoljno mnogima nije dobro legla.
A je li riječ samo o bahaćenju bez pokrića ili ipak nespretnim izjavama talentiranog majstora, slušanjem albuma procijenite sami.
My debut album is one of the most ambitious, maybe even one of the best electronic albums of all time…
I know it sounds crazy but I just can’t imagine anybody else taking you on a journey quite like this, or even trying

With music, everyday you sit in a studio and hope it comes… and when everything clicks, you can’t help but marvel at it, not out of arrogance but because half of what you hear is a mystery to you as well

Guys I’m very excited about this album, the internet hit me w a deserved humble stick so I’ll just say:
I think it’s best music I’ve made, maybe the best I can make. It took 2 yrs + now I’m that annoying parent who wants to tell everyone how great their kid is, I’ll calm down

id lie if i said i wont listen to the kshmr album once it comes out and perhaps there will be some actual hits on it if not the whole album, but him stating that its the "best electronic album ever" even before its out is wack and pretentious as fuck
