With how strong the influence of music from the eighties has been over the years, it is not much of a surprise when people release new music that contains a style that truly feels like something that would have been around several decades ago.
USA
A five-track collection of down-tempo, easy going hip hop songs that are met with a mellow ambiance and a fairly raw, notably independent aura that drives the whole thing in a relatable way.
Yugeezy’s use of the sample here supports his clear & unwavering desire to express the sheer inner turmoil & difficulties of the moment in a passionate & slightly vulnerable way.
It would be foolish to assume any one thing about Barber’s sound based off of a few passing moments. His approach to music is refreshingly free, loving, and thoughtful – this breathes life into an already entrancing & enjoyable soundscape.
TheRealDJABK offers something uniquely real & meaningful for music fans to connect with. His story is one of success in the face of adversity. His music seeks to instill self-belief & hope in anyone & everyone who hears it.
This is a stunning, head-spinning release with something for everyone, but will likely be appreciated most of all by devoted music fans looking for a different spin on time-tested formulas & approaches.
The sound has a flawless melodic flow to it, so much so that it seems likely a live show would have you standing in awe at the purity and colour of it.
Tough On Fridays have an unexpectedly beautiful sound that creates a vast arena of contrast around you between the thick, distorted energy of the instrumentation & the gentler, expressive feel of the leading voice.
A live show would be something beautiful, likely bringing people together, inspiring a sense of togetherness and a shared desire to simply embrace the good times and to revel in feelings of love.
Rivertide’s music has a certain purity & softness that comes through with a welcomed organic honesty right now in among the volume & chaos of the world’s multi-layered, pop soundscape.
A track that fuses a passionate & multi-layered backdrop with a confident, rhythmic leading vocal performance that takes inspiration from the likes of Empire State of Mind.
Where there are many big beats & thick, retro bass-lines & riffs, there’s also so much that is not purely for the party – songwriting is an art form & Totally Awesome Summer have treated it as such.
