Disclosure recently did a track-by-track review of their recent album, “Settle“. Instead of just a written review, the brothers decided to go extremely in depth when discussing their tracks and also shed some light on what went into the production of the album. “Settle” definitely was a fantastic album and their review aids us in understanding the in’s and out’s of what goes into producing a hit album.

An album like Disclosure’s “Settle” was nothing short of phenomenal, especially when you take into account that both of the brothers are younger than 25-years-old. In a world where tracks and EP’s run the gamut, it’s refreshing to hear an album with the thought, fluidity, grace and overall freshness of “Settle”.

The Disclosure brothers, Guy and Howard, give us all a small peek into the makings of the album, a little background of each track and why each track went where. Take for example, “Spoken word, man, Harlem”, those were the search terms used to find the mysterious Eric Thomas sample on their hit track, “When A Fire Starts To Burn“, as a result of not being able to find a rapper for the track! In the video this has been confirmed courtesy of the Lawrence brothers themselves.

It definitely doesn’t seem like the two will have any trouble finding a rapper for their next record but for now enjoy the video below and if you haven’t already picked up the album, do it right away!
