Black Beverly Hills by Roman Blue III
Atlanta based Roman Blue III releases 'Black Beverly Hills'
Maintaining a soft sound throughout, it oozes a real floatiness, with occasional flashes of keys lifting its vibes even further skyward. It does slightly change up towards the end, but maintains the intricacies that hold it together, something they do so brilliantly throughout this song.
Building to a crescendo, dropping out, and building again; it has a real sense of structure whilst simultaneously maintaining the rawness and originality that gives it such charm.
The complex organisation of this song feels upbeat and action packed, and at times leaves you wondering what to pigeon hole the sound as, but there’s no time or need to, and you continue to marvel at it for what it is. Too unique to be a pop or RnB track, it's a new modern mix of genres. It's a great piece of song writing, and it needs to be heard.
The real strength behind this track, however, is not just the ambient instrumentation, its the vocals themselves. Like any good powerful song it needs a real driving force which gives the song meaning, and the unrelenting dynamism he can command from his vocal chords gives it this in bucket loads.
