Goodbye To A World (Chrome Sparks Remix) (6:13) Worlds (album) Worlds is the debut studio album by the American electronic music producer Porter Robinson, released on August 12, 2014 by Astralwerks in the United States and by Virgin EMI Records internationally. The album exhibits a shift in Robinson's music style from the heavy, bass-fueled complextro of his previous work to a more alternative form of electronic music. Contents. Background [ edit | edit source ] During 2012 and 2013, while touring extensively on his Language tour, the then 19-year-old producer began to grow increasingly tired of the current commercial EDM scene, feeling that it was inhibiting his creativity by being too formulaic, with the production process being centered around making "DJ friendly" tracks. He decided instead to create an album that was true to himself and that channeled his own feelings of nostalgia: particularly his interest in Japanese culture such as video games, anime and Vocaloids. He remained quiet about the album's production for a long time throughout 2013 and the beginning of 2014, performing DJ sets at festivals through the summer. On March 3, 2014, during the Oscars, he unexpectedly released the first track from the album, "Sea of Voices", which was available on SoundCloud and emerged into a worldwide trend on Twitter. This was the first track to exhibit his drastic change in style from his previous material, showing off an ambient style. He feared a backlash from long time fans, however the single was generally well received. This song is also featured in the soundtrack of NHL 15 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. On May 5, 2014, he announced the second single to be released from the album, "Sad Machine", to be released on May 13, 2014. This track was again a shift in style from "Sea of Voices", showing off a more typical EDM style, but used General MIDI sounds, similar to that heard in classic video games. The track utilized a Vocaloid, a heavily modified version of Avanna, modified by Robinson himself, for the vocals combined with his own vocals in a duet. Along with the release of the single, he also revealed the album would be released on August 12, 2014. On June 3, 2014, he announced the third single from the album would be "Lionhearted", to be released on June 17, 2014 in the United States and later in the United Kingdom by August 3, 2014. This track again shifted styles to a more synth-pop style, aided by the vocals of indietronica band Urban Cone. A music video, directed by Jodeb was also released for the track. It features Robinson and a group of Japanese girls walking around with weapons that turn objects into glitchy, retro effects. On July 29, 2014, the album's fourth single, "Flicker", was released along with a music video. The video is seen from a train window as glitchy effects akin to the "Lionhearted" music video take place on the passing landscape. On September 2, 2015, Porter Robinson announced a remix album of Worlds , to be released on October 2, 2015. It contains one remix of each song by different artists including Slumberjack, San Holo, and Odesza. Singles [ edit | edit source ] The album's lead single, "Sea of Voices", was released on March 3, 2014 for digital download. The song entered the Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number 28. The second single, "Sad Machine", was released on May 13, 2014 and features a duet between Robinson and a Vocaloid. It entered the Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number 29. The album's third single, "Lionhearted" features vocals from Urban Cone and was released on June 17, 2014. The song premiered as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1. The fourth single from the album, "Flicker", was released on July 29, 2014. The song premiered during Robinson's Essential Mix for Radio 1. Robinson has described it as a "hip- hop beat and a vocal that’s Japanese and really high-pitched". He used a chopped up sample from translation software. Tour and performances [ edit | edit source ] Robinson has stated that he does not wish to perform DJ sets at festivals any more as he does not want to alienate his fans and confuse them. He instead planned to create a live show, using live instruments and sampling. He premiered his live show in Vancouver on the Worlds North American Tour, which he announced on 15 May 2014. The tour started on 28 August 2014 and ended on 18 October 2014. Robinson also visited Australia as a part of the tour, playing a series of dates around the country as a part of the Stereosonic tour. Critical reception [ edit | edit source ] Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating AnyDecentMusic? 6.4/10 Metacritic 63/100 Review scores Source Rating AllMusic Alternative Press Consequence of Sound C Las Vegas Weekly Pitchfork 6.9/10 Q Rolling Stone Spin 8/10 Uncut 6/10 Wondering Sound. Worlds has been met with generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 63, based on 8 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews." Lucas Villa of AXS awarded Worlds with four out of five stars, writing, "[Robinson] taps into inspirations from video games and Japanese culture to deliver beautiful soundscapes full of emotional depth and electronic grandeur." Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.9 out of 10, stating "Finding a middle ground between the synthetic surge of big-tent dance music and the tart melodic tendencies of Passion Pit, Robinson’s debut album drives home the reality that mainstream electronic music carries a certain sensitivity found in chart-topping smashes, zeitgeist-capturing Ultra Fest main-stagers, and sneakily successful soft-beat auteurs alike." He praised the tracks "Hear the Bells" and "Sea of Voices." noting that "Together, 'Hear the Bells' and 'Sea of Voices' make for two of the most transportive electro-pop singles of this year, a pair of unabashedly huge songs that, when caught in the right light, carry the potential to strike a personal chord for anyone who’s ever felt alive while looking at a city skyline at night." Elissa Stolman of Rolling Stone gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars, stating "Although it doesn’t sound quite like EDM, Worlds manages to retain the thrilling rush of emotions that the best raves inspire." A more mixed review came of Consequence of Sound 's Derek Staples, who commented on the album by saying "The idea of a new EDM renaissance is noble, but Robinson’s execution is frail." The album was ranked as the ninety-seventh greatest album of the 2010s by Billboard staff in November 2019. Track listing [ edit | edit source ] All tracks are written by Porter Robinson, with additional writers listed below. Album Review: Porter Robinson – Worlds. After months of waiting, several singles, and a suspenseful countdown via social media, Worlds is finally upon us. As a self appointed member of the #PRSquad, I couldn’t be happier to share this work of art with you! The full album has actually been available for streaming from BBC for over a week, but in case you haven’t discovered it yet, here’s a roadmap to guide you – and make sure to enjoy the Worlds artwork along the way! Divinity. “We will wait for this…” Divinity is the opening track to the album, and I can see why Porter chose this – it encompasses the general idea of his career in dance music so far. It’s hard hitting at first, choppy and full of bass and distortion, but it quickly turns into a ethereal vocal work before combining both in synthetic happiness. Sad Machine. “She depends on you…” Sad Machine, the second single from Worlds , is heavier on vocals than most tracks, but it’s definitely reflective of advancement in Porter’s personal and musical life. This is the first time that Porter has put his own vocals into the track, combined with that of a vocaloid. It also highlights some of his main influences by incorporating classic video game-ish MIDI sounds. Years of War. “Fight till we are no more…” This track is also heavier on the vocals, and could easily be the best Worlds track to use in a mainstream setting. I could picture this being Porter’s next single, and the baes will be singing along to this one at the live shows for sure. Flicker. “I’m just trying to find what’s really important to me…” Yeah, it’s a single, but I feel like this is going to be one of my favorite songs on this album. The syncopation in the beginning reminds me of 90’s R&B, and the whole track has a funky feel that any Kill Paris fan should appreciate.
