Sonically, Let's Start Here is a departure from Yachty's previous works. The album is filled with swirling trippy guitar-driven tracks that are heavily influenced by psychedelic rock. Additionally, there is a heavy 80s pop influence towards the end of the project, which made for some really sweet and catchy tracks. Yachty's vocals blend well with the instrumentals and his lovable personality shines through. The fantastic production helps deliver the themes of love and self-discovery that he tackles.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the opening track, "the BLACK seminole." The track sets the tone for the album with its cinematic sound and prepares the listener for what's to come. Another notable song is "pRETTY," which is a self-love anthem where Lil Yachty showcases the same quivering and infectious vocals that were present in Poland.
The album's track transitions are well-executed and smooth, creating a seamless listening experience that takes the listener on a journey. The 4-track run from "sAy sOMETHINg" to "The Alchemist" is a particular highlight, with each track melting into the next.
At just 14 tracks, Let's Start Here feels like an intentional and well-thought-out album, rather than a collection of singles designed to appeal to the streaming era. Overall, Let's Start Here is a fantastic album that showcases Lil Yachty's growth and versatility as an artist. It is his best album to date.
