Welcome back homies,
I haven't blogged in quite some time (just over a year!) but I've been marinating in music nonetheless. I've been blessed with the opportunity to organize amazing shows, host parties with live music, travel and interview musicians I admire. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has ever read something I have written! It has propelled me farther into the medium I love.
VA-based artist, Ty Sorrell, dropped For Now across several music streaming platforms at the top of this year. His sound is an eclectic mix of textured instrumentals, weighty vocal samples and quick 'n' witty bars. Sorrell's growth lyrically is appreciated. From his previous album, It was Time To Fly, a listener could make out cohesive lines without frills. For Now showcases Sorell making better use of time signatures and themes present in the production; songs are much more cohesive and Ty sounds more purposeful in his flow. This makes sense considering Ty Sorrell is an avid beat-maker and audio engineer. Overall, his beat selection, features and lyrical content round his out sophomore album- it's a gem.
