Jan 23, 2018Accessible and friendly yet highly profound, Vision Songs is a truly uncommon work, and easily one of Laraaji's best.
-
Jan 23, 2018It's a rare example of him writing and singing lyrics, and it's endearingly youthful.
-
Feb 14, 2018As on his ambient albums, the overwhelming impression is of serenity and tranquility. Laraaji's ease with himself is infectious, and he's never anything less than lovable.
-
Feb 5, 2018An album of sedative songs fading between each other, it feels more like a notebook than an album with a defining concept. It is easier to tackle Vision Songs Vol. 1 as if it were a continual chant.
-
Jan 23, 2018There are brief glints of enlightenment to be heard here, but more often than not, Laraaji’s makeshift songs come across like daily affirmations as heard in a hotel lounge.

Jan 23, 2018While his voice isn't bad, it's not particularly enchanting either. And even though the lyrics are spiritually inspired by channeling the higher consciousness of human emotionality and compassion, they often come across as cheesy over the course of the album's approximately 60 minutes of simple and conventional tracks.
