Keoki Jealousy
By Cezanne Huq
Label: Moonshine
Release Date: 4/24/01
(sing it with me) I love it. You love it. I love it. We love it, that Jealousy from Keoki.
What a monster jam. Keoki’s new release starts out with a really dark and twisted intro and leads into a track known as “Jealousy” that obvious will have mass appeal. Jealousy jumped right out the speakers as soon as I popped the CD in for the first time. I just thought “Damn this is it!” The hook does get a little repetitious if you listen to it a bit too often (which isn’t hard to do!). The controversial and top selling Keoki has done it again on this release, building a selection of quality tracks that are already getting massive airtime.
What’s really cool about this release is that Keoki did his own vocal work and really strove to obtain a new level of sound. The “Pass It On” track from Keoki that began to get play on Napster last September has wet the mouths of many in anticipation of the release of this new album. It’d be pretty hard to not have heard the anthem-like track “Pass It On” somewhere. Keoki also did a homage to the popular 80’s tune “Relax” from Frankie Goes to Hollywood” that is slated for release in April. This track will probably also appeal to a more commercial audience.
I found this release to be a bit hit and miss for me, but certainly a “don’t miss this” type selection. The selection of major 2000/2001 tracks makes the legend of one of electronica’s top artists live on and grow further. Keoki’s style and personality show through heavily on this release as it should with any superstar.

Similar to Keoki’s earlier album for Moonshine, Ego Trip (1997),engagement ring Jealousy features songs written by fellow Moonshine artist Dave Audé yet is marketed as a Keoki album. Much changed in the four-year sabbatical that separates these two albums. Ego Trip dropped around the time electronica was being promoted as the “next big thing”—around the time album artists like Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers were in vogue. However, in 2001 things were different—the hoopla had simmered. Keoki, a self-tagged “superstar DJ”—and an album artist much like the aforementioned artists—had to essentially recreate himself, particularly since much of his audience had outgrown him or forgotten about him. So it’s not exactly a surprise to see Keoki doing something as audacious as covering Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s infamous “Relax.” It’s not a particularly inventive version of the song, but it does serve as a revealing way to view this album: throughout Jealousy, Keoki is playing the role of pop/rock star, a sort of David Bowie character for the post-electronica age. Many of these songs feature his vocals, and he does his best to make the music accessible and well-anchored within the already well-established pop/rock tradition. Therefore, if you appreciate pop/rock-style electronica like Prodigy or BT, there’s a good chance you’ll find something here to savor. Even if it’s a departure from his past work, Jealousy does necklacesfind Keoki moving forward and trying new things, for better or worse. [A bonus disc includes two remixes each of “Pass It On,” “Jealousy,” and “Relax."] ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
