More Music from Kwesi Foraes

April 27, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

In my continued search to not pigeon-hole my music listening habits, Kwesi Foraes is making it easy. This is the second single we’ve heard from his 27 EP, and the dynamism is his voice is unforgettable. There’s such pain and anger there, captivating you from the get-go; I can feel the strength in his performances bleeding through my speakers as I listen. But, what makes this song so compelling is the juxtaposition with Foraes and the string arrangements working in the background. It’s hard to turn away from a song such as this; look for it when the EP drops on May 27th.

Strong Performance from Kwesi Foraes

April 4, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This is such a soulful ballad, seemingly informed by the life and times of a troubadour; it’s got elements of blues and folk, sure, but you can hear the road weariness in the vocal performance of Kwesi Foraes. But, what really sells the track is not solely Kwesi’s performance, but the production elements added on, such as the strings, that really elevate this track to next level. Don’t think a single person will be able to find anything wrong with this tune. Keep an eye out for his debut EP, which should be coming our way very very soon.
