Of course my first #MusicMonday post would feature none other than my new found favorite male artist, Jarell Perry. I stumbled upon this gentleman maybe 3 months ago while researching another artist, and his song "Getaway" simply blew me away. I was drawn in by his voice, and therefore had to do more research. I found his website and it mentioned a mixtape "Simple Things" coming soon, but I had to hear more. I found his tracks, "Whiskey a Go Go", "Happy 4 U", & "Healing" as I traveled through the world wide web googling and binging -- I actually do this for all new talent I come across to make sure if I want to be a fan or not, but needless to say, I am a fan of Mr. Perry.
Starting off on youtube, as most of our artist lately have been discovered, he started covering some of the more popular top 40 songs of our nation while attending college at UCLA. Since then he has been credited with a sound similar to the likes of Miguel and Frank Ocean, alongside being honored with working with artists such as Fat Joe, Chris Brown, and my man, U-S-HER R-A-Y-M-OND -- "now tell me what you wanna do with me"!!!
The mixtape had to drop somewhere around late March, but I didn't come across it until early April. Ever since I have been listening to it as if it were going out of style. Some of his most notable tracks: "All Aboad", "Catching Neon", & "Perfect" were all standouts to me. The diversity in his music lets me know that this man has a future in music.
Give Jarell Perry's mixtape "Simple Things" a listen & free download here. It's definitely worth the download.
