Amber Booth - Layered
Hip Hop/Rap, R&B, Crunk
Kentucky, United States
Overall Impression: BossQueen Beats drops a heavy-hitting instrumental with immersive textures and a deeply energizing feel in the original track, "Layered"! Crisp hats hold the structure together as high-impact bass tones find the perfect balance between exhilarating drive and chilled-out flow - the final mix of "Layered" just begging for a skilled emcee to add some lyrical magic to the mix!
Strongest Point(s): This is a killer feel! Great selection of instrumental tones being used, keeping a vibrant and energetic momentum while maintaining a sense of space and easiness that draw the listener in instantly! Amber Booth's intuition shines in the track's structure, with the movement between sections and the accompanying additions and subtractions from the soundscape feeling natural and smooth for a seamless and immersive listener experience. The pitched bass being used for the main melody of the track is excellently applied, and blends with the kick for a fully satisfying punch! Finally, the guitar sample that enters the scene at about 2:17 really helps bring it home - giving a little more emotional depth and context to the track. Really well done!
Target Audience Appeal: Listeners with a love of high-impact Hip Hop instrumentals and brutally low bass tones will find themselves fully swimming in the soundscape that BossQueen Beats is producing - and the overall flow of "Layered" will have fans of the style eager to hear whatever Amber Booth drops next! In its current form, "Layered" makes a killer foundation for some quick-witted bars from any emcee with the fire to take it higher. - Jon W.
