Hey Era! I'm an OG member and hip-hop artist from the old site that used to post old songs and content with members before I migrated here with most of you in Oct. 2017. I haven't posted here in a while but i've been working my ass off trying to improve as an artist and on Friday after 2 years, I finally released my new music video!
It'd be dope if any of you have time to check it out. Worked very hard with my team to make something dope for Era:
If you're digging it, please subscribe to my channel and stay in touch on any of my social media pages! Links are in the description.
ALSO... I just dropped my newest album to go with the music video. It's called "Majestic Sun" which is right here if anyone is interested and wants to hear some new music this month. Enjoy. Here's a Spotify, Tidal & Apple Music link. Produced, Written, and Performed by me.
Much love. I'd love to see what y'all think. - E

Also, this new Panda Bear single kinda bangs:
EDIT: Found this album on Bandcamp. It's trap with a heavy focus on autotuned melodies and atmospheric hazy instrumentals. It's neat.

Another €41 for 2 7" records that I won't receive until 2022... Fuck you, Frank. Just drop them all at once so I don't have to pay a million bucks for shipping everytime.

The song in the video is quite nice, but the mixing is pretty bad. Not Kanye levels bad, but it sounds a bit flat and your vocal kinda floats on top of the beat in stead of it sounding like a whole, if that makes sense. Mixing and mastering truly is as important as the song itself and it can really take your music to the next level. I know mixing can be pretty expensive (I think we pay €300-350 a song at our label), luckily mastering usually is cheaper (we pay around €50 a song at one of the best mastering engineers of our country), but it really is worth it to give your music that professional edge. I'd advise you to stay away from those mixing and mastering for $30 sites, since all they do is run some presets over your track that aren't catered to your song at all. Find some engineers who fit your sound and can elevate your music to the next level.
For the song itself; maybe add some more vocals. Most of the song sounds like it's just one vocal track with some minor adlibs here and there. Add another vocal track in places. Maybe try harmonizing some of the bars. Sonically your vocals don't really have depth right now.
To be fair, both Blonde and Endless are worth a pretty penny now. I bought all 4 7's, but only because I know they won't lose their value, for if I ever want to sell them again.
I received an extra copy of Blonde because my first one was damaged in transit, so I sold the damaged copy to another Frank fan for half, but I'm still kicking myself everytime I check discogs haha. Cheapest on discogs right now is $550 excl shipping. I paid €80 (around $90).
I actually worked with an engineer in the music industry on this album. I live in Los Angeles, dude has some credentials. As for how much I spent on this project, well, it was kind of a lot but I did some shopping around with other industry engineers and their rates were completely stupid for my current budget. This is my 3rd project so i've been around for a while.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of extra ad-libs on songs since i've heard successful songs like "God's Plan". "Sad!" or "What They Want", so that was my idea in the studio when we recorded this song. I WAS, however, reconsidering when listening back on a few songs off my new album. Try giving this song a chance -- we're looking to push this single next off the album. It's sort of going in the direction you were talking about! But thanks for listening! I'll keep everything you mentioned in mind for the future.
Both Rodeo and Birds have MC scores in the mid-60s with Astroworld at 85, and even if it needs to be taken with a mountain of salt that still says something of the overall view on his discography.
Astro really isn't ageing well.
But that I understand, as those are albums. I guess I have a weird feeling about buying overpriced singles in general
To each their own; still throw Astro on a couple times a week. Album is a mood and a half.
I don't know man. Maybe his mixing just doesn't work for your sound, but to me the vocal sounds hollow. In the end all that matters is if you're happy with how it sounds though :). I'm going to check out the rest of your work for sure, but I haven't had the time yet. This is just based on the single you posted.
The new single sounds like it has a bit more body to it vocal wise, so I quite like that, but here I feel the percussion is lacking weight and depth. The song itself is great though! And I like the lyricvideo and the concept of it (I saw you did the same thing with Chances and Wildflower, which I like. Female vocals on Wildflower is a great touch). Keep it up for sure. And keep in mind this is just my opinion. Maybe someone else in the thread could weigh in as well.
I completely see where you're coming from though! I will definitely take time to improve even more and make better music. Would be dope if I became one of your favorite artists one day. Heh.
But anwyays, thank you so much for your input. I'm a little obsessed with creating really good music before AND after i'm officially in the industry so your honest input is super appreciated. Thank you for also listening to my songs! 3 albums in and there's still so much growth to be had. I hope you stay in touch with me.
CosmicDreams I would agree that there's mixing issues with Chances. To me, it feels like they're too loud in the mix and have a bit too much mid-highs. It also doesn't help that both the vocals and main synth are mono as far as stereo imaging goes. I like the track though, very Drake-esque.
Word. I'll keep that in mind for my music next year. Thank you for listening.
The beat just sounds like it needs like 1.5x more compression really - everything sounds pretty good otherwise imo
also i mix and master and make beats if you ever want any other options, and i'd prolly do it cheaper than anyone in LA lol

I lost my samurai
I feel like a f**ing ronin
And now my only friends are Despot and Makonnen
Gonna spend the Fall buying jackets at the mall
Gonna spend the winter f**ing frozen in a crystal ball
Went to the Hamptons and I thought I was the man
'Til Mary-Kate said my Ray Bans were off-brand
I kept my mouth shut and I shook Sarkozy's hand
Spit in the ocean, stole a handful of his sand
Damn, damn
I love how unbearably white Ezra's verse is. His verse shops at Anthropologie and owns multiple boat shoes. His verse is the aural equivalent of a Noah Baumbach movie.
And it fucking rules.
