Southpaw - ? Myself
If hope in hopeless times had a face, it would be Southpaw and their latest release- ? Myself is bound to be a soul stirrer! Not much is known about the artist except for the fact that they have quite the hold on musical arrangements. This new age pop artist/producer is magical and has a style of their own that is embodied with grace and sonic drip. They have managed to create a whole range of songs that goes from rap to pop R&B. ? Myself- performed by ERA 51, is a slow burn of a song. A song that promises not to break your spine in order to make space for others who wouldn’t do the same for you. It questions the idea of the self and yet stands ten toes firm when it comes to accepting who they are. The rhythm is simple yet magical; it stands perfectly in tandem with ERA 51’s exquisite verbal poetry. Her rap drips with so much colorful character that it has their chakras aligned. Southpaw has engineered a wonderful sonic tapestry as backing. The music backing almost weaves and dances with the lyrics with the same amount of swagger and grace. If there is a film that has equal amounts of depth, personality, and comedy, it is The Farewell. Awkwafina breaks away and delves deep into dramatic acting. If you are looking for a song that cleanses you of your bad juju, then? Myself is it. It is a number that tells you you are exactly where you need to be, and sometimes, you just have to trust the process. Southpaw is a wizard of a producer that whips and bends sounds at his will.
