Big Grams EP Review

Big Grams
Big Grams EP
Atlanta, GA and New York, NY
(Epic)

Synth poppers Phantogram and Outkast’s Big Boi have joined forces on the future hip-pop collaboration Big Grams. The seven track EP feels like a natural progression for the severely underrated Outkast cohort who previously dabbled in electro funk and pop on his last LP, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, were he first worked with Phantogram, as well as Little Dragon. The EP balances nicely balances singer Sara Barthel’s vocals with Big Boi’s word-craft,  gliding from anthemic synth pop to the sexy esoteric funk of the stand out track “Put it on Her.” Big Grams is a solid, forward-thinking effort with few missteps, tailor-made for rocking big stage venues.
