Bobby Earth's "Progression" found the now LA-based artist daydreaming about love and what was beyond the sky after you've pushed past your initial limits. The music and the melodies were R&B packaged with an alternative flare. Then, the Houston native found out what lay beyond to land on his own sexy planet with "Cloudy McSunshine," a more dense dive into R&B mood music for lovers across a shared galaxy. And now, with the release of his "Progression" follow-up entitled "Progression 2," Earth has returned to the planet that bore his name with kaleidoscope lenses to bend the sounds we're already use to.
In step with his long-time partner and collaborator Marz Guidry, Bobby shows what can be done with a little experimentation. Bringing indie electronic, acid jazz and dancehall to the already forged lane of alternative R&B, "Progression 2" gives way for new, deliciously melting melodies and remarkable songs completely expressing from a loved one's feelings. The song that comes to mind is the incandescent "Ultraviolet" (prod. by Evan Wills). I dare anyone to listen to that song and not love a melody, run or harmony. It's impossible to not rock with the frenetic rhythm, too. And the scatting harmonies are a chef's kiss.
Other collaborators share the space of the songs as well, from features to production -- Eros, Topaz Faerie, Jasmine Canales and Brian Hargrove, to name a few. Every contributor on the EP gives the music a personality trait and ability to spice up this big blue marble we call home and make available the changing patterns that come once you try something new.
Listen to "Progression 2" below.
