I probably live under the rock because only today I discovered truly Jack Harlow. Some of you perhaps have listened Lovin On Me. He is also known as a rapper but through Monica, he transition into neo soul, R&B.
This year, I thought Ariana Grande's latest album, Petal would be the tracklist of the year but the other day, I was discovering Jack Harlow and stumbled upon Monica.
Throughout the whole tracklist, Harlow's is showing his no-cussin and mellow side compared to his previous album and single with other artists.
I hate to say it too but sometimes this is like Post-Malone, a rapper who also explores country scene and it was such a miss. But for Harlow, I have to say, the transition is quite beautiful because now we get to listen more melodic neo soul R&B like Prague, through Monica.
This sounds like neo-soul back in the 90's and perhaps why it sounds soothing because it evokes certain nostalgia to its listener. For someone who used to listen this clean-ish RnB melody, Prague from the whole tracklist do the justice.
Then there's also Trade places as an intro to Monica that sounds best when you work from a cafe and needed something in the background. It's soft and fun. If it was a place, I'd picture a cozy quiet cafe in the middle of city.
Now that it's almost November, this song Living Alone by Jack Harlow will hit different. It has that cozy winter-ish vibe to it.
That living alone feels more like situationship and one-sided love in terms of the lyrics but if you listen the melody, that is one beautiful beat.
So as you see above, through the contrasts, from Lovin on me to Monica as an album is quite a difference.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
