"MO TURK x Samantha Seawolf x Sas Harris - You were right to cut me off, I've been up to no good."

Nos pasamos a un estilo más hip hop con la siguiente rolita que ha sido una colaboración de varios artistas para crear un tema bastante disfrutable para ti. Si te gustan artistas como Tyler The Creator o Kali Uchis entonces te va a encantar MO TURK un artista dentro del género hip hop que ofrece un sonido modernizado del trap combinando estilos como el lofi, el trap y el pop. Desde que comienza la rolita, es difícil de que no te atrape y te invite a bailar. Podemos apreciar tres voces que cada una le da una intención diferente a la rola, y que narra su perspectiva dentro del tema. Así mismo, cada voz tiene su sonido distintivo sin dejar a un lado el estilo general de la canción. "You were right to cut me off" es una canción que conecta con aquellas personas que no están listas para entrar en una relación pero que sin embargo, lo hacen y terminan dañando la relación. Hay momentos en los que nos encontramos con la persona correcta en el momento incorrecto, y por querer forzar las cosas terminamos arruinando todo. Es una rola que navega por un viaje de introspección pero que musicalmente lo convierte en un tema bastante gozable.

"Mo Turk & Bronze Baby Shoes LeBron Soldier XI / Never Coming Back"

Kicking off with the quickly anthem-like and memorably simple Lebron Soldier XI, this two-track collaborative release from Mo Turk introduces an artist with a clear love for music and a natural sense of rhythm and character when delivering.

While this opening track thrives mostly on the strength of a single line – that Lebron hook lingers with you for quite some time after listening – the soundscape makes up for the minimalist lyrical presentation. The beat has a certain lightness to it, not dissimilar to the kind of jazz-cafe-meets-hip hop vibe brought back in recent years by the likes of Mac Miller.

Never Coming Back showcases a similar musical approach, again reinforcing that love for music, and this time around Mo Turk’s voice is easily recognisable – there’s a quiet sense of identity to the tone and that calm, tired delivery that’s easy to pinpoint across releases.

This second track undoubtedly offers more detail, more insight via a more extensive set of lyrics. You build a stronger connection with the artist here, his verses dig deep into poetic reflections on life and home and moving through struggle into optimism; looking towards the future. For these reasons, there’s a little more substance in this second track, and it proves a little more in tune with escapism and the natural vibes we often turn to music for. Having said that though, the anthem-like quality and the cultural references of Lebron Soldier XI help create something far more likely to appeal to a wider audience or to a group of friends on their way to something big. The contrast is subtle but effective, so the two songs work well together – introducing both Mo Turk and Bronze Baby Shoes as having personality and intention in their lyrics and production approaches alike. - Stereo Stickman
