[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”I” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]t’s important to show that you care. The caring isn’t always easily perceptible, particularly to the people who are or should be closest to you in your life.  For Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and songwriter, Blxst, he wants to let it be known that his “Heart Ain’t Empty”. On “Heart Ain’t Empty,” Blxst is incredibly honest and authentic – you buy what he is selling.  Accompanying his ‘realness’ is lush, warm production work which features no percussive component – the rhythm is carried by keys and synths, successfully.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

Blxst serves up smooth sung vocals, embracing his R&B side here. Even so, his melodic delivery is rhythmic, showcasing a superb cadence and flow.  Singing with an impressive tone, he shares plenty of thoughtful, reflective, and sentimental lyrics. “I drop a tear for every second that I missed /… But Gello even though you gone you’ll be missed / Forever in our hearts ‘cause your soul still exists,” he sings in the first verse, remembering a late friend.  In the second verse, he’s also heartfelt, regarding the losses experienced by his sister:  “I feel for my big sis, she a soldier / Just lost her everything, them nights feel colder / Gotta hit the road again, even though she need a shoulder / I feel guilt, I didn’t hold her.” Of course, the centerpiece – the crème de la crème – is the tuneful chorus:

“Even when the sky is grey, it never rain

Even though I’m miles away, I feel your pain

I been tryna find the words, but can’t explain

I don’t get the words to say, I feel ashamed

Wish I can be there for you in the way you need me

Hope you knowin’ that my heart ain’t empty.”

All told, given his sincerity, and top-notch performance, there’s no doubt in my mind that Blxst’s “Heart Ain’t Empty”.  He puts his foot – and heart – into this one!
