Whoa. White boy, soul pipes, jazzy bluesy r&beezy not-quite-radio-ready fun & complex bizarro pop. I know, Maroon 5 et al, but this sounds more like Parliament-Funkadelic than anything I’ve run across in a while. I guess because the instrumentation and arrangement is so out there. Songs rarely stay in genre for more than a minute at a time. Overall: tight, cool, supa chill. God damn, this kid has been listening to a lot of Prince. Funky as hell! try: 11, 2, 5, 7 no FCCs 1. laid back beatboxing & naked vox... segues to fat synth r&b. can fade at 12 sec to end. *2. ice cold! computer-warped vox over shrilly keyboard electro and sidewindy croony ‘ooh’s. cool, cool, cool. 3. slow smooth r&b croonsies. bloopy sludgy synth & keys. long fade. 4. ruddery purring scat and trashcanny drums. cute & smart. big quick synth bursts. holy hell, snatches of girl sex moans. *5. funky sesame street flute & girly callbacks. there’s a little jackson five going on here. 6. downtempo honky jazzy beatboxxxy horn & piano. sludgy swampy funk bass. 7. upfront vox over barbershop bops. cut to hard sharp drums and blow out jagged garagey guitar-n-bass. on the fast side. super angular. early fade. 8. ~9 sec warm up. slowish spare effectsy keyboard. relaxed r&b. 9. mid/slow muddy bass & crisp crackling vox. shimmery cute-sexy. bellsy keys. long fade. 10. soft music box start. (or just start :37 sec in) slowish croony fingerpicky cheesy love song. gets funky at the end, but has to, you know, weather the rest of the song to get there. *11. ayoh! supa-cool percussion & deep diggery riff. like prince, but awesomer. sleeeeek. some dark synth, too. 12. heavy, downbeat, pompy. hella angry sax. horns and low-reg piano. 13. slowww twangy chugger. black keys balladry. 14. slow to warm up. some tape hiss & heavy separation single-note piano. wavery thin croony vox. slow warm choral chords. the end sounds like a respirator clicking off. | ||
