Teo Pasquale - Nowadays [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“The vocal inflections early on hooked me, and the lyrics held me with a realness that is not found often enough in popular music. The beat is steady and the delivery smooth and engaging.”
“The vocal inflections early on hooked me, and the lyrics held me with a realness that is not found often enough in popular music. The beat is steady and the delivery smooth and engaging.”
“The hurt and anger comes through in the early vocal performance and the production brings a beat that serves well in adding to those emotions. The Rap flow forms an interesting bridge, but it is the chorus that will stick with you. ”
“This is a banger from the production to the mix to the actual artist. Nice.”
“Clean breaks are tough with affairs of the heart ,and ‘When We Fight’ captures the despair, desperation, and guarded hope of those emotions with a pair of vocals.
The first is sang with a beautiful vulnerability and the second is a flow delivered with more of a stoic indifference. This contrast is part of what captures the emotions of this situation so well.”
“This track is meant to make you uncomfortable, because sometimes, that is the only way to shake up the neurons and make you think. The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.
That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”
“What’s ‘Better than Bad’ .... this offering from Nilly, featuring Maxo Kream for one. Catch a bounce and ride this flow that honers all the bad ass women out there.”
“Spiffie Da SlumBaby delivers a new definition of flexin on your ex; he gathers with all his friends and family and celebrates. In a dripping wet yet fun visual Spiffie hits every bar on this track with a energetic flow. He’s not only a team player but the one that people hit up when they need favors but don’t get him wrong he still is going to get money regardless if you fuck with him or not.”

“The lyrics are well-written and the track brings a riveting energy as well as some true passion for what is being said. No easy feat to achieve with a productions this autotune heavy. Kudos for a solid performance, and quality production. ”
“A funny, energetic single, with a mix of reggae vibes and a humorous rap flow.
Short and sweet, this one falls into a groove and stays there making it a quick reprieve when life gets too serious.”
“A smooth, soft flow unfurls lyrics that that are coiled tight and linear. This track brings a definite pop vibe while rolling out an emotional truth that rings loud with truth. ”
“From the first beat, you know this track is bringing something special to the table. Two separate flows, each speaking their own truth in no nonsense way, deliver what feels like a Hip-Hop sermon.”
“Tossing out a chill, relaxed flow, JO24 drops these lyrics today that are words of importance. If you don’t take the time to ‘Learn Today,’ the lessons will come at your hard and fast somewhere down the road.
The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”
“Chill and chilling. That’s how I’d describe ‘Pavement.’ The flow is tranquil and calm, yet the lyrics are dirt and grit. There is nothing fancy going on here, but there doesn’t need to be. True, honest emotion, delivered with authenticity.”
“Dope sound. Catchy vocals and very unique. Could ride and vibe to this. ”

“A snaking melody and a steady beat frame a flow with some true vocal hook to it.
Hard not to sing along with this banger.”
“An alluring friendly voice is the key to this vocal performance, which feels honest and intimately familiar.
This one feels like a conversation with a friend and it held me close to the emotion right from the start.”
“Riding a banging beat , ‘Flxn’ takes sharp, clever lyrics and blends them with a rock solid flow to bang out a single that is indeed flexing plenty of muscle. At under two minutes, my only wanton wish is for a few more verses.”
“Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”
“I was pulled in by the straight forward, honest feel to these lyrics. I also appreciated the rawness of single and the fact the production did not opt for autotune embellishments and other tricks, but got out of the way and let the emotions shine through.”
“Sometimes you just gotta say it straight and direct. Poloneius Pluck is the ‘Bossman’ here as he deliver his truth, his confidence, and his mantra for the world. The reggae vibe gives a good contrast and takes this one to another level.”
