Fantastic Negrito has an incredible, inspiring backstory but it would be a shame to unwittingly allow it to overshadow the issue at hand, the truly fantastic blend of blues, funk, rock and R&B; created on “Please Don’t Be Dead” by the man born Xavier Dphrepaulezz.

As Negrito’s songs feed on his personal experiences, you should at least know that he grew up with 13 siblings in a Muslim family which moved from Massachusetts to Oakland when he was 12, around 1980. He released an album (“The X Factor”) as Xavier in 1996 but a debilitating car crash in 1999 - the theme of this album’s cover - contributed to a prolonged interval. The debut of this new career phase was the 2014 EP “Fantastic Negrito” and “The Last Days of Oakland,” which won the Grammy for best contemporary blues album last year. “Please Don’t Be Dead” pulverizes any fears of the dreaded sophomore slump. ---Pablo Gorondi, washingtontimes.com

Jak przyznał artysta, szczególny wpływ na jego twórczość wywarli m.in. Robert Johnson, Skip James i Charlie Patton. - To geniusze czarnej muzyki korzeni, którzy zainspirowali mnie do urzeczywistnienia projektu Fantastic Negrito - mówił w "LP Trójce" Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz. ---polskieradio.pl
