11 Jul 2018 // A review by ShelleySketch
After
interviewing ABRZY, I knew
I had to be the one to review his brand-new EP
Night Fall. This short EP
consists of three tracks; his most recent single
Top Down, which has been
reviewed
here, and two new
previously unreleased tracks
Night Fall kicks off with the
enterprising track,
Rock Your Body. It isn't the strongest track to start on, and the EP would have
benefited from either starting with a more compelling track,
switching the tracklist around, or simply improving the balance in the mix. The
instrumental could have been simpler and lighter, as to not overpower the
vocals. While there could probably have been a bit more variation in the vocals
and melody, ABRZY is clearly influenced by Drake, and you can hear the
tracks potential. But it’s not quite there yet;
Rock
Your Body feels like somewhat
of a demo track.
Unnecessary, on the other hand, vastly
improves on the feel of the EP. It is more of a grungy rap song, with an
American influence creeping in.
Unnecessary seems to be about what ABRZY is up to and how he’s
working hard to get to where he wants to be. It’s a great track with an
excellent flow, and would be a brilliant track to listen to when you’re
cruising around with your friends.
Top Down is ABRZY's current single,
and it's doing very well. This track has smooth vocals, which I quite like,
while also having a strong Drake influence. Despite this, you can still hear
ABRZY's own style in the song.
Top Down has a good rap flow and there’s a great beat to
accompany it. I can understand why this track is doing so well -
Top
Down is a great track to vibe along
to.
Night Fall gets stronger with each
passing track, which is potentially a good way to do it. However, this may also
defer people from listening to a full release later on. ABRZY definitely has
the potential to create some great music and
Night Fall shows that he's off to a great start.
★★★ (3 stars)
