Logic Flexes Ridiculous Collection Of Golds & Platinums

Despite his run as one of hip-hop’s biggest gamers, Logic was never really one to bring the world of shit-talking into his music. In fact, Bobby Tarantino was widely appreciated as one of hip-hop’s humblest, most easygoing individuals. Even when he did engage in mild feuding, he ultimately moved to turn an enemy into a friend — as he did with his “ISIS” collaborator Joyner Lucas. Suffice it to say, Logic has consistently possessed every ability to flex, even if it wasn’t always his style to do so.

Well, it would appear that retirement has awakened the rapper’s competitive spirit, and damned if the man didn’t take to Twitter to unveil an absolutely ridiculous collection of gold and platinum plaques. By his tally, that’s seventeen singles certified gold, with eight more singles certified platinum. On the album front, we’re looking at three gold, and two platinum — the two being Everybody and Under Pressure. “Am I still underground or nah?” he tweets, turning the tables on anyone still questioning his position.

At this rate, don’t be surprised to see Logic’s collection expand in the years to come. We’ve long seen rappers temporarily enjoy retirement, only to be inevitably lured back into action for one reason or another. Perhaps it will be the vacant space on the wall that sparks Bobby back into action, the unfillable void that only gold and platinum plaques can fill. Or perhaps he’ll simply miss the thrill of delivering a new project upon the masses. Either way, he’s a long way from the underground from whence he came.

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.
