The Single Notez 🎶:
➕ “Differences” arrives after singles 🎵 “Could Have Said” and 🎵 “Fucked a Killer” (with Cheflodeezy)
Lush, soulful production by Artekal – definitely idiomatic of the R&B sound (foot in the door of the past, also feels right in 2021)
➕ Nice use of guitars, keys, contemporary hip-hop beat used across the board in R&B, pop, etc.
➕ I love the warmth of the backdrop, further amplified by backing vocals
➕ Love the slow, relaxed tempo of “Differences”
➕ Beautiful vocal performance by OpenSoul – radiant tone, sweet falsetto, tasteful ad-libs, nuances
➕ He sings with such ease and smoothness
➕ Furthermore, OS also brings incredible authenticity – you buy what he’s selling
Nice overall songwriting, particularly the chorus
➖ Cons? Nah!
Memorable lyric:
“You’re not like anybody else So, let’s take a chance I’m selfish need you for myself It’s like I’m in a trance Tried shooting stars and wishing wells And found you’re not like anybody else.”
