South Carolina, United States
Overall Impression: The Awesome Crew comes together to deliver a meditation on the idea of true love, infusing carefully crafted bars with creative fire and emotional vulnerability in their original track, "Tears In My Eyes"! Dreamy instrumental foundations establish an ethereal soundscape as the emcees take turns revealing the depth and drive of their feelings - centered on the emotionally open hook, "Tears In My Eyes".
Strongest Point(s): The format of "Tears In My Eyes" is rock-solid, building an open and inviting sonic space in the first few bars before the first emcee enters the scene with clarion presence to set the lyrical tone for the track. Then, the other members of The Awesome Crew each take a turn in the spotlight to share their own energies on the topic, making for a multi-faceted and well-rounded listening experience! Each emcee brings a different style to the mic, allowing listeners with different preferences and backgrounds each to find something resonant in the track - all built around the desire to find true love and the honest, open-hearted vulnerability that accompanies that search.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of emotionally honest Hip Hop with nostalgically old-school influences will fall in love with the sound that The Awesome Crew has produced here, while the lyrical content of "Tears In My Eyes" stands to resonate among anyone on the search for a queen to call their own! - Jon W.
