More and more you hear different sounds and effects being added and layered, not to the point of confusion, but enough to elevate the song and keep things interesting and moving. The person gets all eager, starts talking in a very poorly contained voice, you can hear it in their throat, you can see they're about to pop and shout in excitement. Almost like when someone is very anxious about something and trying very hard to hold in the excitement but failing miserably. There's almost like an eagerness to it, I find. It might be somewhere out there, but I personally had never heard something like this before until now. Personally, I've never heard such a vocal style in my life. The vocals are what stand out to me the most. A straight 4/4 beat on the drums and single notes played on the organ per measure. It starts with a simple beat, but so effective. The vocal style even made me think of Little Richard a bit.Ģ) Have Some Love: The style changes again and I catch myself tapping my foot. It gives off a 70s vibe, especially with the raspy vocals displayed by Childish Gambino. The song changes tone and feel again and it's very soulful in it's execution. As the song progresses, you start to get the feel of maybe what's to come, but let me tell you, you have no idea! You will be surprised and maybe even a little weirded out. The beginnings gentle notes even remind me of Mr. It all seems very innocent, even child-like. I'm here to give my two cents on this album, the influences I hear, and the overall feel of each song.ġ) Me and Your Mama:You don't know what to expect as soon as this journey begins. I had decided to buy the album, and wow did it surpass my expectations! I honestly had never really heard his music until I heard that popular single "Redbone" on the radio (which I don't listen to often) one day. This guy right here, though, is someone that completely blew me away. Truly talented people are hard to find nowadays in a world where 17 year-old know-nothings can cut a record deal. Someone that has many influences and can incorporate them all with their own flavour into their music. Once in a while, an artist will come along that surprises me.
