It’s definitely a step down from blkswn, but I still think it’s pretty good overall. The tracks I disliked are Tequila Mockingbird, Merlot, Hoopti, Low Down Derrty Blues, Krushed Ice & MF Groove. The album as a whole is pretty good sonically, but when it comes to the lyrics, it leaves something to be desired. I don’t care for the simplistic, bass-heavy production either. His verse on Krushed Ice was wack, and, to be honest, so was Smino’s verse. It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that I’m not a fan of Valee. In my opinion, Krushed Ice is the worst song Smino has ever made. 28), Smino took to Twitter to share that his sophomore album Noir will be released on Nov. I don’t think anything on this album is actually bad, with the exception of one song. However, most of the other tracks don’t really stand out from one another. The production is incredible on that song. The third track, Klink, is easily my favorite song on the album. I love the melodic hook & fast paced flow, and the production is fantastic. The chosen production plays in conjunction with the warmth of his vocals it’s an album largely rooted in heartbreak that’s made for lounging in the sun with a broken heart and Hennessy on your breath.The lead single, L.M.F., is really fuckin’ great.
He doesn’t have the strongest vocal range, but he does have more than one trick, and he does an excellent job showcasing this across Swaecation. His natural texture is a cross between the sugary flavor of Fruity Pebbles cereal and the soft weightlessness of marshmallows. There’s an undeniable pleasantness about Swae Lee’s voice. If blkswn saw Smino tackling the issues of the day, Noir sees him pull.
Swaecation (first listen) closing thoughts: Midwest rap phenom Smino has released the music video for his new Kenny Beats. It’s just one of the rare moments where Swae sounds outside of his element. I could’ve happily concluded my listening experience at “Red Wine” but “What’s In Your Heart?” isn’t terrible. Rock stars are dead, bring back the super boy bands. I think all unconventional singers should get together and make an album of trap ballads. The Hip Hop Enthusiast Podcast 63: We look into new albums NOIR by Smino and IDKs. I would happily accept a duet with Future. Hip Hop Enthusiast 79: Album reviews for A Quiet Farewell Twenty. It doesn't quite fit for his soft falsetto. The drums are kicking! I feel like it’s overly aggressive for his eloquence. Lee doesn’t have much range but he makes each atmosphere work for his style. 28), Smino took to Twitter to share that his sophomore album Noir will be released on Nov. Longtime collaborator Monte Booker, who in recent years helped Smino develop his colorful brand of gadgety. Albums include Room 25, Telefone, and The Big Day. Chicago-based rapper Smino’s sophomore album NOIR arrived today via Downtown Records. The combination of Smino’s vocals and production is one that can put you in a trance.
Smino noir review full#
Genres: Alternative R&B, Abstract Hip Hop, Pop Rap. Noir is an album that you can enjoy in a room full of people or when you feel like taking moments to really appreciate different aspects of music production. A very broad palette of sounds and styles. Smino discography and songs: Music profile for Smino, born 2 October 1991. Smino is one of my favorite musicians right now, and I share him with a lot of people I meet. Knocking! There’s a nice diversity in the production. Yeah, that Young Thug verse is too much for this to be the crossover moment it deserves to be but I’m playing this on my yacht (read: in my Ford Focus). SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT YOUNG THUG BUT HES GOING TO GIVE YOU 18 FLOWS IN THE POCKET. He turned in like a 32-bar verse and I hope it doesn’t end. Can we get a Mike WiLL and Thug album? He’s taking off like an Eagle seeking prey. Did he say he’ll slap Trump? I need someone to translate the gargle flow because he’s not mumbling. I’ll never be able to explain why Thug sounds good doing these weird vocal tricks, but he does. Thug just hit a croaking high note that made my soul do a backflip.
Smino noir review crack#
Who foresaw the kid who put the crack in his crack being baby Wyclef with the vocals? I’m here to testify that Beautiful Thugger Girls was a highly underrated 2017 R&B album. That’s oddly specific and please don't’ ask me to explain it. I feel like I’m Michael Knight driving down Melrose in KITT.
EarDrummers tag! No drums dropped but Young Thug is singing his slimy heart out.
