Impossible to pigeonhole, a creative production blending traditional genres and instruments with modern electronic programming – Art Official catches some strong grooves, with Melodic Epilogue.
Beginning with the shoulder-swaying soul-rock swagger of Good Boy, the project offers an AI vocal lead and meandering bass and guitars, jazz hi-hats, and a few lyrical twists of modern scorn and originality, for a good-vibes listen that’s interesting and nostalgic all at once.
After this, the doo-wap rhythm of I’m a lover not a fighter makes sense but refreshes, leaning towards RnB with the raspier programmed voice, and the lyrics injecting a catchy, memorable hook, following long-form verses that work beautifully amidst this kind of ambience.
Nostalgia is a key part of the Melodic Epilogue intention and vibe, and for ATL we hear that quality captured and reimagined, as a huge production and anthemic track injects something blending the 1950’s and the modern pop arena with confidence and style. A touch of something Old Town Road-like at certain moments emerges, with the rest of the track feeling versatile, performative, and forever adding further dynamic and charm.
Finally, Art Official injects the full old-school soul and seduction of Pass me by, a catchy gem of a closing track, with a nostalgic hook but a modern longer-form verse, hints of hip hop, and lyrics that suit the modern vocal choices. Always that organic backdrop holds close to an easy-going mood, and that mood and stylistic thread runs throughout all four tracks of Melodic Epilogue.
