Music Production and Technology
This song has an African vibe drum beat that makes exciting mood. There are two major parts in this song, one is pretty obvious trap music part and another thing is gospel-like singing part. In between those two parts, there is a sudden change which sounds a little bit awkward, but that weird transition makes this song unique and fresh.
Syncopation plays a big role in this for me, even if it is common for wave/trap beats. It leaves me waiting and craving for the next beat.
I never thought of myself as a big techno music fan until I found myself listening to Yaeji and similar artists for over 10 hours straight at one point. It’s a genre that can fit almost any mood, whether you just want something playing in the background while doing hw, a good party playlist when dj’ing or when your existential crisis hits at 4am.
Yaeji is a producer, singer, rapper, DJ from Brooklyn who keeps everybody on the hook with her amazing evolution and style change on every new EP. Being bilingual she used that opportunity to write in both Korean and English, reaching a wide audience from her hometown city in South Korea and the US. Her voice is defiant even though she often sings in a whisper; her tone is melodic and angular. Her flow is like that of a rapper, she links together rhymes and keeps rhythm, but there’s also an energy lurking beneath her delivery that echoes classic, soaring house singers.
Here’s a lil interview to get a glimpse of her personality. I would definitely recommend checking her out especially if you’re not familiar with this genre! She’s rlly cool.
ssgkobe is someone I’ve been listening to on SoundCloud for around a year. In the past 6 months, he’s grown substantially, with multiple songs over 1 million streams. He makes hip-hop/RnB music with unique & catchy vocal melodies, which is why I find him to stand out among the many SoundCloud artists that are around.
