Once I complete my Masters in
Entertainment Business I want to land an A&R job with a top record label.
While doing A&R work I also want to get into Executive Producing. As an
A&R Coordinator and Executive producer you have to know what music is
popular and who and what the audience is listing to. In this blog post I will
review an up and coming popular artist and their latest projects that the R&B
audience are currently listing to at this moment.
The rising artist that I choose to spotlight
is Bryson Tiller. Tiller is a rising singer from Louisville, Kentucky. His top
single Don’t which caused R&B
fans wanting to hear more from him became a popular song on soundcloud with
more than three million plays. Bryson Tiller released his debut LP TRAPSOUL on October 2. With Tiller’s vulnerable
lyrics on tracks such as Been That Way,
Don’t and Right My Wrongs and heavy rhyme flexing on tracks like Rambo and Ten Nine Fourteen Tiller delivers a project that touches the soul
with passionate, emotional, and a touch of swaged out lyrics. He is often
compared to artist such as Drake and PartyNextDoor. To me he gives me a Jeremih
mixed with Drake type vibe. No matter who this up and coming artist is compared
to he is on his way on becoming a successful R&B artist. Below is Tiller’s track
listing from his latest project TRAPSOUL.
1. Intro (Difference)
2. Let Em' Know
3. Exchange
4. For However Long
5. Don't
6. Open Interlude
7. Ten Nine Fourteen
8. The Sequence
9. Rambo
10. 502 Come Up
11. Sorry Not Sorry
12. Been That Way
13. Overtime
14. Right My Wrongs
My favorite
songs on the project happens to be Let Em’
Know, Exchange, Don’t, Rambo,
Overtime, Been That Way and Right My
Wrongs. I recommend that any R&B fan should listen to this project as
he brings a laid back, vulnerable vibe with good vocals to the music industry. Tiller
released this project with no collaborations which shows that he wanted to give
the world his sound so that listeners can digest his sound and figure him
out as an artist without mixing the style of other artists in the music industry.
I think in the near future Tiller should team up with some other artist such as
rising singer Kehlani, Jeremih, and J. Cole. I think if Tiller was to team up
with either one of the artist that i mentioned then they would deliver a top hit.
As an
A&R Coordinator and Executive Producer who wants to start their own
Entertainment Company I feel that it is important for me to understand and know
about rising artists and their projects, which is the purpose of this post. I
enjoy listening and doing research on rising stars and I feel like that will help
me understand and develop new talent better. If you are somebody who have to
have the latest popular music on your music device, please checkout Bryson
Tiller’s LP TRAPSOUL and you wont be disappointed.
