What Can I Say - The Official 4PM (R&B/Pop) We stan an island jam. The steel drum and reggae influence is palpable on this track, making it really stand out among other R&B/Pop tracks. Cross-genre influences really highlight The Official 4PMs artistry, and their voice shines on throughout the song—giving lush layering in the choruses and just the right amount of vocal FX in the accenting. This genre-blending feels quite unique as the reggae influence is also quite dreamy, and serves more as a backdrop for a more traditional R&B flavor. It’s nothing like I’ve heard recently. The spoken word at the top also feels like the quiet storm jams of the 90s which instantly pulls the listener into the song. It’s clear The Official 4PM has a deep knowledge of the last 30 years of R&B/pop, and pulls all the best references therefrom. Respect.
Best Lyric: “I know I messed up, but I regret it. I know I hurt you girl and you won’t forget it.”
