Emotional realness, smart bars and modern trap rhythms, a subtle fusion of rap and melody – Moses J. Francis catches a confident but honest vibe, with Luke Skywalker.
From the three-track EP Skizzy’s Revenge, Luke Skywalker is rhythmically consistent, catchy and subtle by nature, but offers a clever storytelling format that’s almost list-like in its meandering through personal anecdotes and the highs and lows of the journey.
Featuring a calming guitar part and fearless lyrical explorations of the weight of expectation and ambition, Luke Skywalker is both inspiring and refreshing in its realness. The bars blend recognisable statements with original twists of thought and character, and Moses J Francis’ willingness to really go there with these reflections on life and the self makes for a genuine and enjoyable listen.
The guitar, the trap beat, the subtle effects but the humanity of the delivery in unison, all lets this one connect in a timeless way. It’s a great introduction to the project, modest by nature, not flashy or intense, just authentic, freestyle-esque and yet grounded by a likable groove and a unique but satisfying flow. Ideas and feelings to connect with, and music that makes that easy to do.
