Rubberband is a Miles Davis album, recorded in 1985 and released on Rhino Records and Warner Records on September 6, 2019. [1] The album has received mixed to positive reviews. [2]
After leaving long-time record label Columbia Records, Davis went to Warner Bros. Although the 1985 album was not released in Davis' lifetime, sections of the song "Give It Up" were sampled posthumously for the track "High Speed Chase", from Davis' final album, Doo-Bop , in 1992.
In 2018, an EP of takes of the title track entitled Rubberband EP was released: [1]
Versions of "Rubberband of Life" feature vocalist Ledisi.
According to the review aggregator Metacritic , Rubberband received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 63 out of 100 from 11 critic scores. [2] These mixed views may in part stem from a divergent opinion of Davis' 1980s recordings as a whole. As music journalist Rob Shepherd, a fan of the artist's works from that decade, has noted: "Recorded mostly in 1985, the height of Miles Davis’ most critically maligned era, Rubberband is unlikely to be appreciated by one who generally disfavors the artist’s 1980s oeuvre. However, for a listener open to Davis’ music from that period, there is much to enjoy." [3]
