Just last month, Bryson Tiller released his debut album “Trapsoul” on October 2. He previously had a mixtape out in late 2011. His mixtape has a completely different feel to how “Trapsoul” sounds. Other than the mixtape, Tiller is an upcoming new artist with a new feel and vibe to his music.
The album is centered around his experience with his ex and his thoughts about it. The songs really hits your soul. It makes you want to listen again because of the beat multiple beat drops. The title of the album really shows the overall fear of the songs. You would think most of the songs sounds
like trap music but you end up hearing Tiller’s soulful voice overpowering most of the beats. Overall it makes a really good mix. Tiller has a lot
of talent and “Trapsoul” displays them. There’s honestly not one bad song on this album in my opinion. I couldn’t even pick a favorite because every single one is good.
I think the fact that he has no features on it, allows Tiller to show his true talents. He has a lot of traditional R&B sounds to the songs. The album works for good pump up music and in your feels type music. I catch myself constantly singing along. It’s one of this albums you can have on repeat over and over again and not get easily tired of it. “Just Another Interlude” gives a Partynextdoor vibe. It was also the first song I listened to from
Tiller. If I absolutely had to choose a favorite on the album, it would be “502 Come Up”, and “Sorry not Sorry.” All the songs are very similar in a way, but at the same time you feel different emotions when you listen to them individually.
Overall the album could be listened to whether you’re down in the dumps or loving life. Tiller did a great job craftingthis album. You could already see
his music getting more and more responses from youth.I think his album dropped at the right time because I was personally looking for new music to listen to or a good upcoming artist that is actually talented. “Trapsoul” is so good I’ll be looking forward to his next single or album.
