Damion Anthony - About Time

It’s About Time I Let You Go - Damion Anthony.  (Reggae)  What stands out the most about this track are the lyrics–it is crystal clear that this is an extremely personal song and I guarantee Damion is singing to a very specific person.  With a straight down the middle reggaeton production, this song stands out from the rest of the genre for those lyrics, taking the Adele/Taylor Swift route of directed songs about heartbreak into a genre typically housing more lighthearted fare or songs about overall society and culture.  The aggressive lyrics paired with the chill vibe of the production mix to make a very sing-along-able track.

Best lyric:  “So fuck you, be by yourself, I had enough’”

Kenny Supreme - Liar

Liar - Kenny Supreme.  (Pop/R&B)  Here’s something that isn’t a lie–Kenny Supreme’s Liar is a PRODUCTION.  There’s no reason why this song wouldn’t be on Top 40 radio.  It’s giving Chris Brown in all the best ways and its strongest attribute is that it’s an earworm you can’t help but sing along to.  Not only a catchy hook, but also a catchy call out chant.  This is one to put on your gym playlist–it will absolutely keep you on the treadmill.  I’ve also had the fortune of seeing Kenny perform Liar and I can tell you that this song lights up an audience.

Best lyric:  “Late night cuddlin’, can’t stop strugglin’ to keep up with you’”
