Tomorrow&#8217;s New Dream, their 18th studio release, showcases their irrepressible and kaleidoscopic style, celebrating decades of groove power in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Chock-full of star vocal power, catchy lyrics and buoyant jams, Tomorrow is nothing short of a smorgasbord for the senses: you don&#8217;t just hear the tracks, you absorb and experience them. Love songs are glib and saucy (&#8220;All For You,&#8221; featuring Maysa with Phil Perry, &#8220;Now That I&#8217;ve Found You&#8221;), mid-tempos are smooth and meditative (&#8220;Absent In Spring&#8221;) and even tracks lamenting discord and disappointment are compellingly delivered: &#8220;Haze of Summer,&#8221; featuring Joy Rose, wishes for heat as she stokes the embers of a dwindling flame of passion, and the iconic a-cappella group Take 6 drops harmonies so crisply during &#8220;The Weather Report&#8221; that its dueling predictions of a relationship&#8217;s sultry moments and cold fronts feel cathartic instead of like chaos: &#8220;Well there isn&#8217;t always rain, sometimes sunshine will prevail\/Let&#8217;s hope for the best my dear, and get on the same page.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With Bluey on the boards, it&#8217;s all but impossible to not find something among the fourteen tracks to enjoy: two of the offerings, the pulsating &#8220;Shine&#8221; and gauze-draped &#8220;Wake Me,&#8221; are interludes confidently helmed by the James Berkeley and his neo-soul group, Yakul, and &#8220;After the Beat Is Gone&#8221; combines melancholy introspection with plucky bass and lively keys that hint there may be a chance for true love in the end. Even when there are no words to be found &#8212; the frenetic &#8220;What&#8217;s On Your Mind&#8221; and urgent &#8220;Saturday Signals&#8221; are examples &#8212; Incognito manages to express what we can&#8217;t always say. It&#8217;s one of the band&#8217;s most endearing characteristics: translating the messiest and most mercurial dimensions of life and into rich tapestries that highlight the beauty therein.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine drifting into full, blissful REM sleep, rummaging through the stored memories you want to keep, and commissioning talents like Cherri V (&#8220;Only a Matter of Time&#8221;), Vanessa Haynes (&#8220;Still the One&#8221;), Mario Biondi (&#8220;No Show&#8221;), Imaani (\u201cNow That I\u2019ve Found You\u201d) and all of the above to heighten those moments. Then, when you awaken, you find those jams in a handy playlist nearby ready to fuel your day. That&#8217;s what Incognito&#8217;s Tomorrow&#8217;s New Dream represents, making it one of the best ways to close 2019 as its aural optimism pushes us to anticipate what&#8217;s next.
