Only the Surface by Saint Pierre is Trap music, 80s R&B, Lo-Fi, and Experimental. With three tracks that bring a motivational story to the table, Saint Pierreโs bold and fierce artistry shines through in this engaging musical experience.
Only the Surface kicks off with โOn Ice,โ where sharp, glitzy synth waves intertwine with electrifying beats, creating a shimmery ambiance. Saint Pierre has a deep voice and raps it with a winded or exhausted intonation. Itโs like he is trying to vocally show how tired he is of โbackstabbersโ and how itโs got him on ice, another way of saying heโs heartless now.
โLike Me,โ the second track, introduces a relaxing undercurrent with glitzy electronic textures. The narrative revolves around the transformation in peopleโs behavior when they witness your success. The lyrics, particularly โNow they cross the room to say hi to me,โ vividly express the shift in dynamics, creating a relatable theme among those of us who have struggled hard to come this far. The music provides an atmospheric backdrop, enhancing the storytelling.
Closing Only the Surface is โ2DC,โ a track that exudes smoothness and relaxation. The minimalistic musical arrangement allows Saint Pierreโs vocals to take center stage, pulsing the song with his unique rhythm. His delivery is emphatic, moving, sassy, and sultry, adding layers of expression to the overall vibe. The soulful vocals and minimalistic beats make this track catchy and memorable.
Biggz, aka Brian Booth, recorded Only the Surface in Norfolk. Contributing to the cohesive and polished sound of the project and keeping a commitment to sonic quality is MBWAV, who went behind the production process to bring this to completion with our artist, Saint Pierre.
