Reef Continues Impressive Streak With "scarlet"
Reef is a name you need to know in the intersections of new genre-stretching sounds. The South Carolina artist elevates his strengths through an unavoidable vocal tone, something that comes naturally with his music and sets the foundation of his ideas. Usually taking on soundscapes with minimal or diluted drums and a sound that my mind best describes as "airy," reef's vocals stand at the forefront to achieve something practically unreplicable. With over twenty songs released year-to-date through solo and collaborative efforts, and every offering adding to his case of evolving artistry, all fingers point to reef breaking further into the industry. Now back for yet another impressive venture, reef drops "scarlet."
The single brings out more of reef's highest qualities through writing, tone, and uniqueness. An incredible intro captures a feeling of ascension, where listeners become latched to reef's rollercoaster of sound. "I went talked to angels up in paradise, and they told me calm down it's all gon' be alright," instantly delivers these feelings and paints a beaming portrait. The creative continues on for a mix of playful and profound lyricism while keeping the sound refreshing the entire runtime by developing new vocal directions and pockets of sound, which is something reef accomplishes on almost every track.
