First time hearing this, and I would like to add a few things that were not mentioned above. His voice has a soulful delivery. The musicianship shows high technical ability shrouded in pop-sensibility. His lyrical content emotes a crassness that touches on current radio RnB with the timber of a rock vocalist. So there you go: local RnB/Emo with exquisitely high musical chops. Look mom! I can be a writer for CP too! But seriously this kid puts in work, I wish the writer did the same.
We generally keep these posts on the short end, owing to the fact that the track is right there for everyone to listen to and form their own judgments, much as you did. Plus we ran a review of this album last month, with a little more space for description.
Anyway, nice work. Once you learn to spell words like “timbre,” send your clips along and maybe we’ll hire you.
