O.T. Genasis Samples a Classic On “Back To You” Ft. Chris Brown & Charlie Wilson

Old school meets new school on the latest from O.T. Genasis. We already know that the Long Beach rapper is fond of R&B and classic jams, so it comes as no surprise that he not only taps an oldie but goodie for his single “Back to You,” but he grabs a feature from the original singer. The single boasts vocals from Chris Brown and legendary musician Charlie Wilson who was also the lead singer of the Gap Band. “Back to You” samples Gap Band’s 1982 chart-topping favorite “Outstanding,” making it a track that we’re sure will be enjoyed by many.

The three artists from varying genres and vocal stylings pair well on their collaboration and we expect that this is just one of many singles that O.T. Genasis will release in the coming months. He’s stated that his album will drop sometime in 2020, and with only a short time left in the year, we’re hoping to hear it sooner than later. Stream “Back to You” and share your thoughts.

G-Wagon wasn’t enough
Last-minute Rodeo, came through in the clutch
No Uber, just a Wraith that was pickin’ you up
Talk down same n*gga that was liftin’ you up

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Goat

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
