Just as the title suggests. This single is one of the most beautifully crafted instrumentals I’ve heard all year. Apollo Brown, one of the most credited and respected producers in the game, is soon to release a beat tape called ‘Elevator Music’, and he chose this as his first teaser track. Let me tell you all, if this shit played in the elevators where I’m from, I’d be riding those things all day and night.
This is a 3-minute instrumental track with these long-winded notes playing as if they were the breezing wind itself brushing through your body on a hot summer’s day. Alongside these exquisite notes, we have a simplistic yet well-crafted skeletal hip-hop beat playing in the background to accompany such angelic strings.
This type of instrumental reminds me of the soundtrack of those classic ‘Studio Ghibli’ movies with those peacefully ambient soundscapes that just take you away into another realm as your mind tries to focus on the film, but the music is just so fucking powerful and poetically executed that your thoughts are left going on a journey of their own.
This is beyond music at this point; this is art at its finest, and I can’t be more excited to hear the full project in its entirety!
