¥€$ is the second album by Estonian rapper, singer and conceptual artist Tommy Cash. It was released on November 30, 2018. The album was preceded by the single "X-Ray" and features collaborations with Rick Owens and MC Bin Laden.[1] [2] [3] [4]
"X-Ray" was the only single released from the album. Produced by A. G. Cook and Danny L Harle, it was unveiled a week before the album on November 22, 2018. Its music video was self-directed along Anna-Lisa Himma and features Cash as a cult leader. It has been compared to the film The Holy Mountain. Cook and Russian model Sasha Trautvein also made a cameo.[5] [6]
Laura Copley from Clash described the album as "a complete sensory overload", also praising the tracks "Brazil" and "Cool 3D World". The latter was named "[it]s strongest offering." She ranked the album with 4 points out of 5, naming "Vegetarian" the weakest track. Bianca Guilione from Highsnobiety aided the album's production, noticing the incorporation of "nostalgia-inducing" electronic sub-genres and describing Boys Noize's work as "blown-out bass bliss". The publication gave the album a rating of 4.5 points out of 5. For Jenesaispop, Jordi Bardají criticized the use of awful phrases, comparing its lyricism to a more innocent version of Cupcakke while also suggesting its sound could be what Lady Gaga's then-upcoming record Chromatica was going to offer. Highlighting the songs "Brazil", "Horse B4 Porsche", "Mona Lisa" and the single "X-Ray", the album got a 7 out of 10 qualification. The author dubbed Cash as a necessary political subject on the music landscape.
