OpenSoul, “Differences” [📷: Artekal]The Musical Hype provides some quick thoughts on the intriguing single “Differences” by Jamaican R&B artist, OpenSoul. 

🎵 Single/Song/Track: “Differences”

📻 Genre: R&B

🎙1 Lead Artist/Band: OpenSoul

🎙2 Featured Guests: N/A

🎼 Songwriters:

🎛️ Producers: Artekal

💿 Album: N/A


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.” 

🔏 In Closing: Ascending Jamaican R&B artist OpenSoul delivers another stunning, must-hear, love-centric single with 🎵 “Differences.”
