AR BASE/PRESS ON'S 'GRIEVOUS WORDS' ALBUM REVIEW

​AR BASE/PRESS ON corresponded with me in regards to his Gospel R&B with Neo-Soul Flairs. I played the single ‘Be Still’ and first I thought of ‘NSYNC;’ which is not to be condescending, but I heard Pop-styles which reminded me of the very popular 90’s band. I could not compare him to a known Male Gospel Artist because his style was one of a kind. However, I did listen some more and heard ‘Usher-style sounds,’ but of course it’s Gospel. The runs and chords were very melodious and the instrumentals were resonant. The instrumentals were mixed very well without faltering. The ‘Grievous Words’ Album was nicely mastered. I love R&B and I love Christian R&B so the music in the background made me ascertain that this conourous Artist put in a lot of effort and he harmonized very well. The lyrics were a brain teaser and not simple. I was well-pleased and I was thinking and saying to myself, ‘I’m hearing expressive musicality in a vocalist who could hit high notes to near perfection.’ The ending was a  ‘touchdown finish.’ ‘Be Still’ is encouraging and uplifting and It’s a song of profound thought. Inspiration is an under statement. I was empowered beyond what many artists could do. I thought ‘think positive’ when listening to the could be classic single. The complexity is amazingly challenging in the song and it took a very skilled vocalist to render R&B and Gospel so well. It made me love praising Jesus while listening. I will note that the music reminded me of Trinitee from the 90’s. It is a powerful single.
Upon listening to the single ‘Grievous Words’ from the Gospel R&B Album of fine detail, I immediately thought of Tamia as it pertains to the instrumentals. The melodies were laid back and ‘chill.’ I loved lines in the lyrics such as ‘no judging more, praying and quietness is strength. In regards to God, that is very true.  We know we must ‘be still and know that he is the Lord thy God. Amen. AR BASE exemplified a true anointing which is unmatched. The background vocals flowed smoothly together and it seemed as if this vocalist had been singing for decades. His voice was not pitchy and he took very sound musical risks as a great singer. I would not want to see him as an underrated artist. He is a great musical talent and I heard his passion for Christ in each line. R&B is a good genre when producing Christian Music. I heard soulfulness in each note with that classic R&B, laid back touch as well. And I was still reminded of R&B Artists when listening to his music. Cause I thought of Musiq Soulchild. Yes, Neo-Soul was expressed too. I wondered if AR BASE would produce a Christmas Song. I think he’d be great in singing something for the Holidays too. I was awed in how the believability of his authentic anointing helped gravitate my praise to a higher level. He’s bona fide. He’s assiduous and adept at making good music. I was happy to hear an artist know how to construct great songs. The music reinvigorated the passion within me for making more music with R&B additions. What’s great also is the originality of each single and he didn’t seem to be brain picking cause his singles were one of a kind with a taste of familiarity. He is raw talent with professionalism. I’m looking forward to hearing more music from this incredible artist. The album artwork was preformed and noticeable. And I’m looking forward to watching this artist soar, God-willing. Don’t forget to check him out. Hear his music now. You’d probably be a supporter. Blessings to you.
