If you aren’t familiar with alternative/indie pop artist 🎙 Zuli Jr. (Ryan Zuli Jr.), well, you are totally missing out – what’s wrong with you?  Luckily, there is still hope and time to get hip to him.  Pencil in his new album, 💿 Stop It God. (arriving May 14, 2021), as the perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself. Better yet, why not start with the absolute bop, “Blue Sky,” the second advance single from Stop It God.  Mark my words – you won’t be disappointed!  

“Blue Sky” was written 🎼✍ and produced 🎛 by Zuli Jr., Aire Atlantica, and TK the Architect. The rhythmic nature of the production is one of the biggest selling points of the record. “Blue Sky” has one foot in the door of the past, while simultaneously feeling fresh enough for 2021.  Adding to the allure is the song’s underpinnings – music theory lovers get excited! The harmonic progression definitely gives the record a lift and a unique sound.

Of course, the biggest reason why “Blue Sky” is so rad is the lead artist, Zuli Jr.  The man has an absolutely radiant tone.  His falsetto is incredibly sweet.  Furthermore, the songwriting is excellent, providing further fuel for the fire.  The best part is the chorus.  Here, in particular, the writing, the vocals, the hyper rhythmic drums, synths, and etc. all make it feel like you’re experiencing a slice of heaven.


Final Thoughts 💭 

Honestly, the best way to experience Zuli Jr. and “Blue Sky” specifically isn’t this review – though I’m hella glad you checked it out.  The best way to experience him is by listening to the bops he has up his sleeve.  “Blue Sky” is a prime example, and does a marvelous job of building anticipation for Stop it God. We definitely don’t want ‘The Man Upstairs’ to dare stop Ryan from serenading us and flaunting his artistry.  He’s awesome!
