Emerging with the cinematic presence and depth of a piano-led instrumental composition, Troy Remedy’s new single takes its time to introduce the true nature of its intentions, but naturally creates the perfect ambiance on the road towards this.
Refreshingly emotive, focused and passionate, laying bare vulnerabilities and highlighting an ultimately timeless way with cleanly-mixed and purposeful hip hop, Days Are Numbered not only showcases strength of production and design, but also outright strength of lyricism, performance and melody.
The whole thing has the makings of a nostalgic RnB-Rap crossover – a pop hit complete with a soulful earworm of a hook, distant vocal inflections for a touch of Gospel unity, and a general sense of effective balance between the deeply personal and the more broadly accessible.
As such, the song quickly enchants the listener, connecting for its honesty whilst promising that essential escapism for those who similarly feel the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Smartly crafted, lyrically pristine and intelligent, poetic and powerful, Days Are Numbered introduces the talent and heart of Troy Remedy in a memorable way. Hopefully there’s plenty more music to follow.
