Reason Praises TDE: “They Hold Me Accountable”

Though TDE hasn’t exactly had the most active year in 2020, recent signee Reason was given ample time to shine. And shine he did with the release of New Beginningshis debut album on the label featuring Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad, J.I.D, Vince Staples, and more. Without a breakout hit dominating the charts, Reason still managed to turn in some respectable numbers, though the project’s release had a much greater impact on the west coast lyricist.

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
