FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured album, ‘Summer Of Sam’ by KingPaysos, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The album lasts around thirty-one minutes and consists of eleven tracks.
The album’s opening track, ‘Momma Told Me’, lasts two minutes and fifty-five seconds and sits at a steady 85bpm. The track commences with an eleven second introduction that features subtle vocalisations and an ominous piano progression that sets the tone for the main vocal line. KingPaysos’ vocal color is smooth and effortless; seamlessly synchronising with the flow of the instrumental accompaniment.
The systematic implementation of a panned backing vocal line adds depth to the overall sound without detracting from the prominence of the main melody. The contrast between a sung hook and rapped verses delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this track is engaging from start to finish. By time this opening song draws to a close, you’ll find yourself humming along with the catchy hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
Although the album is technically grouped under one genre classification, each track delivers a variety of compositional elements that showcase KingPaysos’ songwriting talent; from the steady percussive beat, soulful piano line and impressive feature from SM!TH ST. in ‘Accountability’, the intense vocal color, foundational sub-bass, and stylistic vocal effects of ‘New Bihs’, to the plethora of creatively panned instrumental/vocal layers that amalgamate for form a powerful and immersive experience in ‘Start a War’.
From the well balanced production and creative compositional arrangements, to the impressive vocal performance, fans of KingPaysos, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this album.
