Big Crown Records is proud to present Adult Themes, the latest full length offering from El Michels Affair. This album takes the band's "Cinematic Soul" aesthetic literally and sends the listener on a journey through a whirlwind of moods and energies. With their 2005 debut album Sounding Out The City, EMA spearheaded an instrumental funk / soul movement that inspired a slew of bands and even lead to the creation of a few independent record labels. El Michels has since lent his signature sound to artists from Adele to Dr John, Lana Del Rey to Aloe Blacc, and a who's who list of others. In 2016 he co-founded Big Crown Records and has since produced the lion's share of it's output. A short stint as the touring band for Wu Tang Clan in 2007 led to the cult classics Enter The 37th Chamber (2009) and Return To The 37th Chamber (2017). Adult Themes marks the long awaited, highly anticipated return to an album of original compositions from El Michels Affair.In 2017 in between producing, playing, and recording on other artists' records Leon Michels began creating compilations of short interludes intended to be sampled by hip hop producers. Some of these wound up becoming songs by Jay Z & Beyonce, Travis Scott, and Don Toliver. These minute-long snippets were inspired by the dense moody work of '60s composers like David Axelrod, and Francois de Roubaix, as well as Moondog's brand of classical jazz. Michels was having so much fun creating these instrumental / orchestral nuggets that he decided to expand on some of the ideas and create what would become the soundtrack for a movie that has yet to be made, an imaginary film entitled "Adult Themes." The album plays like the colors on an artists pallet. Songs like "Rubix" and "Villa" are densely orchestrated with the hard-hitting drums that El Michels Affair is known for. On "Life of Pablo", Leon's son makes his first appearance on record and intros a song with an epic arrangement and a moving mood. "Hipps" is a drum heavy ballad that could've easily fit on EMA's debut record, Sounding Out the City. Other compositions like "The Difference" and "Kill The Lights" are bare, melodic mood pieces with sparse drums and sophisticated chord movement. All of these tunes come together to make perfect backgrounds for dialogue and action.One of the beautiful things about instrumental music is that the listener can decide what the narrative is. With Adult Themes El Michels Affair has created a "choose your own adventure" in musical form.

Comparing to the coffee giant version
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Starbucks comparison (from a personal standpoint): I’m fortunate enough to have a bottle of Starbucks Brown Sugar. Problem is, I’m almost out. Looking around at some alternative options, and reading the reviews- I see some saying this is a good substitute. Because I happen to have the syrup on hand, I figured I should see if it is, because it would be great given the low cost of DaVinci syrup. This picture I’m attaching is just to see the color difference.
Consistency wise, the DaVinci syrup is much lighter, more runny. The Starbucks is definitely a thicker liquid, that runs much slower.
Flavor is the big one: DaVinci is lighter on taste, and sweeter. The best way to describe the flavor is comparing DaVinci’s to 100% real maple syrup that’s been diluted down with water. It’s good, but not really similar (in my opinion) to Starbucks Brown Sugar. Starbucks is more smokey in flavor, more strong/bold.
My drinks are made using espresso, oak milk, cinnamon powder, and ice. I made my drink the same way, but used DaVinci Syrup this time. I found that the same amount of syrup that I use for the Starbucks, didn’t feel like it had a strong enough flavor. What did I do? I added an extra ounce of DaVinci hoping to get a stronger flavor. The problem is, DaVinci is more sweet than the Starbucks syrup (in my opinion) and ended up making my drink taste too sweet. It’s sweet enough that I’m not going to finish drinking it.
I’m not knocking the DaVinci syrup itself. I think it’s a good brand and a good flavor. It’s just not the flavor I was hoping would solve my issue for a Starbucks imitation. I would encourage anyone to still try this syrup, but do so to enjoy it for being its own flavor.

Almost tastes like chocolate milk!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I usually dislike protein drinks. But I need It, and this one actually almost tastes like chocolate milk. I’ve tried the other flavors of this brand, and for me, this is the least protein tasting one. Banana came close.

The Gold Standard: Premier Protein Chocolate Shake
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
The Premier Protein Chocolate Shake is, in my opinion, the benchmark for ready-to-drink protein shakes. Whether you're a serious athlete, a busy professional, or someone trying to hit daily protein goals, this shake delivers on taste, convenience, and macros.
Taste & Texture (Surprisingly Good)
Let's be honest: most shelf-stable protein shakes taste like chalky chemicals. This is where Premier Protein shines. The Chocolate flavor is rich, creamy, and surprisingly satisfying without being overly sweet. It tastes like a genuine, albeit light, chocolate milk. Crucially, the texture is smooth and velvety; there is virtually no grittiness or unpleasant artificial aftertaste. I genuinely look forward to drinking these, which is half the battle with supplements. They are best enjoyed ice-cold!
Unbeatable Nutritional Profile
The macros are what make this shake truly exceptional:
30g of High-Quality Protein: Perfect for post-workout recovery, satisfying hunger between meals, or boosting the protein content of coffee/recipes.
1g Sugar & 5g Carbs: This low-carb, low-sugar profile makes it ideal for nearly any diet, including keto and low-glycemic plans.
160 Calories: A great way to add significant protein without excessive calories.
Verdict & Best Uses
I always keep a case of these shakes stocked. They are a true time-saver for fast breakfast additions, quick muscle fuel after the gym, or a guilt-free late-night snack. If you are struggling to find a convenient, affordable, and high-protein option that actually tastes good, look no further. This product is a staple.
