The song off Patrick Paige II's Letters of Irrelevance that got the most play was "Voodoo," swampy funk bearing a strong resemblance to D'Angelo's like-titled album. Nearly submerged in the mix, Paige acknowledged "But I still got growing up to do." Three years later, the Internet bassist proves that he's done a good amount of it, at least as an artist, with his more distinctive follow-up. The flight-themed If I Fail Are We Still Cool? swings with more authority between hip-hop and funk, more often leans to the former, and shows Paige as a more imaginative lyricist. Two of the songs with the most to offer, the freaky-deaky "Whisper (Want My Luv)" and wobbly "Ain't Talkin Bout Much," coincidentally feature Paige's bandmates, and space granted to the likes of Saba and Ohana Bam isn't wasted, yet a solid EP could be made from the all-Paige tracks. Start with the bluesy "So They Say" and the spaced-out synth soul of "Who Am I," unflinching and deeply analytical songs articulating internal conflict between aspiration and humility, and Paige's desire to exterminate wickedness and uplift his people. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
