Her EP actuallyย came out in the fall of last year, but in honor of SiRโs recent reveal as being John Doe #2 of TDE, aka their latest signee, I decided to go back and give my reaction to his last EP. Which was apparently secretly released under the TDE imprint without anybody finding out. Now I donโt know anything about him, but if heโs good enough to make the roster, then heโs most likely good enough for me.
If this is the sound that we can come to expect from their latest signee, then we could be in for something special. His production definitely falls into that modern R&B/neo-soul sound that so many singers nowadays try to adopt. Her EPย isย smooth, sultry music full of excellent live instrumentation and chill vibes. โNever Felt Anything That Goodโ has some great percussions paired with a nice bass line, โAll in My Headโ has a hypnotic kick and snare combo accented by soft piano keys, and โCadillac Dreamsโ (maybe my favorite song) is straight cruising music, which is no surprise since it features Big K.R.I.T.
โNo destination, no expectations
Weโre keeping it unofficial
But weโre rolling
Somehow you got me open
With words that were never spoken
But I know I hear you, babyโ
SiRโs vocals are as smooth as the production itself and he has a strong presence on all of the songs, effortlessly gliding over the production. The topics arenโt anything new, women and love, but his songwriting is skillful enough to keep everything interesting with just the right amount of subtlety. He actually reminds me of his fellow West coast singer, Miguel, and thatโs a very strong comparison to have. For such a relatively new artist he already has a strong grasp of his sound, style, and artistry and I canโt wait to hear more.
