We last heard from Marc E. Bassy in 2016, when he dropped his second EP, Groovy People.  Difficult to classify or pigeonhole, Bassy is eclectic. He incorporates pop, urban, and singer/songwriter cues into his music. This makes him a compelling artist – one chocked full of potential.  Perhaps the best way to categorize him is as a pop artist.  Following his 2016 EP, Bassy drops a full-length album, Gossip Columns. In advance of Gossip Columns, Bassy issued a number of singles including “So Simple,” “Til I Get Found,” Plot Twist,” “You & Me,” and “Plot Twist (Remix).”

Ample pros bode well for “Til I Get Found.”  First and foremost, Marc E. Bassy delivers strong vocals.  It goes without saying that he possesses a fantastic vocal tone. Artistically, he excels in his niche – as aforementioned, he’s slated somewhere between pop and urban contemporary music.  Perhaps he doesn’t spoil us with his falsetto, but when he hits it, it’s ripe.  Besides a well-rounded performance by Bassy himself, “Til I Get Found” features excellent, smooth production work, in the pop-soul vein.  The beat – groovy to the nth degree, ready-made for the steppers.

Final Thoughts

Is “Til I Get Found” a game changer for Marc E. Bassy?  No.  However, “Til I Get There” is another strong single preceding Gossip Columns with no deal breaking cons to derail it.  Well-sung, well-produced, and ultimately, well-rounded.  Winning formula.
