Are we in for a treat or what! Today is a special day because we have a duo that consists of two of the most original artists in the underground as we speak!
I’ve covered both these men separately and to find out they are working together made me happier then I could admit! So let’s fucking talk about it!
This is the brand new EP by the Duo of Producer Deevo The Genius & MC/Singer svmbv and together they made ‘DANUEDITION’ and they come through with a 5 track extravaganza that is a perfect combination of groovy, charismatic and beautiful! This shit is my kind of bag!
Across these songs, we get these instrumentals that feel less like individual songs but one 12 minute fluent experience that takes over the senses! This production consists of elements such as
-RnB
-Soul
-Funk
-Hip Hop
-Jazz and I Can’t stress enough how gorgeously the music was handled. This is beyond next level shit! This is next generation music! It feels like Devo is always 100 steps ahead of the rest, he’s a man who’s never contained into a box. He’s the man who makes the blueprint for the producing of boxes for the rest of the world to be trapped in while he stands on top of the world, free as a bird!
It’s ridiculous to me that he makes RnB/Alt RnB instrumentals that sound better than the million dollar producers people like The Weeknd, Chris Brown, 6LACK uses!
His music (no matter the genre) always is full of flavour, lively soul and colorful melodies and rhythms that feel like they come alive with every listen and jump into your brain and give you goosebumps!
I’m not joking. I’ve reviewed a handful of his work this year and each new release sounds better than the last! The mainstream should be BEGGING him for instrumentals. With this one 12 minute EP he brought life back to the dying mainstream sound and elevated it, lifted it up and presented a sound that reminds me of the classic 90’s/2000’s era standards!
I can’t believe how crisp, smooth and clean these beats are. I swear he’s a fucking alien.
Speaking of possible aliens, we have svmbv. This man just like Deevo has somehow being tasked with bringing life back into the mainstream dominated sound of RnB and he again does a 1000x better job then any of your mainstream favourites.
In this 12 minute presentation he showcases a sound that the rest of the millionaire label artists should be studying!
See, a lot of people blame stuff like ‘auto tune’ for the downgrade of RnB/Alt RnB/Pop whatever. But that’s bullshit. Prime T-pain used it and made some of the best music of the 2000’s! And on this record he uses auto tune but does it in a tasteful way to combine that tool with his own melodic voice to create a smooth fusion between the two that combines with the production ever so beautifully!
What I love about this man’s performances is the level of emotion in his voice. If I’m being honest he kind of reminds me of the male equivalent of ‘Summer Walker’ in the way he’s able to draw out captivating imagery and thoughts with his emotions!
He can bring out happiness, sadness, tragedy, success, pain and everything in between! Each song has a different tune and meaning and compared to what the mainstream offers that’s not an easy thing to!
He sounds like a man in his own head, his own world in the studio! He sounds like he’s letting his various thoughts out as if he’s letting his mental do the speaking for him utilising his various moods into the music and that can be felt!
This EP in one word is incredible. It’s got divine production and ridiculous vocal performances that become more and more infectious the more you listen! Don’t believe me? Go check it out now!
Shoutout to -Yanna G for the feature!
