Either Way - Rob Elo (R&B/Neo-Soul) Rob Elo has found a love worth waiting for on latest track, “Either Way”, the first of four monthly singles that will culminate in an EP next year. From the moment the sparkling rhodes and plucky guitars enter, the listener is immediately put at ease, trusting Rob to lead them down a sonic landscape that feels like a flowing river. The production is incredibly lush, with soothing Brandy-level vocal stacks, harmonies and counterpoints slathering butter on a close, intimate and vulnerable vocal. Rob’s crooning plus the warm blanket of the instrumentation are hypnotic and seductive and just as he’ll wait for you, you’ll have no doubt that his upcoming tracks are also worth waiting for. One of our favorites of the year.
Best Lyric: “So if you wait, don’t wait, either way I’m on fire.”
