Worthy
Seattle native Dave B offers gripping perceptive and meticulous musicianship on the uplifting, meditative and reformist ‘Worthy’. A versatile and adept artist, Dave B’s sound blends a wide range of generic sensibilities, taking influence from hip hop, R&B, jazz and funk to produce an individualistic timbre that revolves around his deeply conscious, polished songwriting. On this new single, Dave combines expansive thematic lyrical content with sharp, refined flows and quixotic production to successfully unravel the worries and injustices he faces.
The instrumental uses a dreamy, synth chord progression that is merged with an intrepid wobble bass and colourful, eclectic percussion to create a rich, measured tone for Dave B to express himself on. The production is warm and full, with the artists, soulful, sensitive yet playful tones perched on the soaring soundscape. Dave shows great skill and creativity in his nuanced delivery; his soft tones light and buoyant, whilst maintaining perfect diction and breezily stingy flows. The lyricism is vast, determined and introspective, dismantling racial discrimination and flawed systematic construction.
Astute, thought provoking and skilful, this is an impressive song with a message of significance. Dave B shows himself to be a mesmeric voice worth listening to.
