Bleu said that for his debut album he wanted to define “his unique sound, made of this era’s wave of autotuned trap music mixed with R&B beats and melodies”.
He told The Breakfast Club, “I’ve always been a fan of R&B, and I was lucky enough to have some of the biggest inspirations on my album, such as John Legend and Chris Brown.
TOP PICKS FOR YOU:
Breezy inspired me with the moon concept with his Heartbreak on a Full Moon album, which I thought was unbelievable”. He explained that his intention with the album was to become a notable mainstream artist: “I’ve been on the underground scene for a long time. This is my crossover to that bigger level”.
American rapper and singer Yung Bleu’s debut studio album “Moon Boy” was released last year. And “Ghetto Love Birds” is the last track off the album, it was drawn from watery piano cuts and a sultry vocal structure that feels so smooth and satisfactory from the beginning to the end.
Ghetto Love Birds gives a clear description of a day one love which Yung Bleu becomes proud of and gives so much praise.
He refers to the love as Ghetto perhaps because it dates back to a rough start, although it has been beautiful and worth it nevertheless, even as it seems like there is nothing left to part the ship or let it break to take separate ways.
While the delivery and direction of the record is pensive and was made to examine a strong love tale, A Boogie With Da Hoodie, a 26-year-old American rapper orchestrated his warmth and bold vocal range which sublimes with the kicks amidst the melodies from the piano even as strings powered by an electronic guitar nicely waves through.
Meanwhile, the chemistry between Bleu and Boogie is rich and practical, it deserves to continue.
However, Ghetto Love Bird comes with all the spontaneity alongside sturdy chemistry which can’t be displaced anyway.
Again, it is a beautiful joint between Bleu and Boogie, eventually the record suits as the perfect closure on the album anyway. While anyone genuinely into contemporary Hip-Hop dubbed R&B could easily fall in love with this record in many ways. The simplicity is satisfactory also.
