"Fame and Fortune" by Skywalkerxx
I've been listening to his stuff on repeat for a few weeks now so I thought I’d write about him.
What makes me want to keep listening to his music is his ability to create great melodies. The melody is the first thing I listen to when listening to a song for the first time and his melodies ALWAYS catch my attention. The second thing I love is the production on each track. Each production has a distinctive sound, which perfectly complement his vocals and his heartfelt songwriting.
"Fame and Fortune" is off his debut EP Permanent Vacation released last year. The project was a solid introduction to his stuff. It is captivating, haunting and authentic. And the artwork is pretty amazing. When I first heard “Fame and Fortune”, I honestly prayed for the song to be as good as the production haha I always get super disappointed when the production is better than the song. But this isn't the case with this one. It is GOOD and it deserves more attention. Like I said earlier, he’s great at melodies and this one definitely has timeless melodies. It’s the type of records you’d want to play on repeat just because it is so efficient. Also, shout out 5head for killing that prod.
“Fame and Fortune” is my favorite but he has some other dope songs, like “Holding On” and “SMH”. Some of his songs are not even available anymore but I remember them clearly - which proves how memorable his music is. Anybody can make music nowadays but being good at it is a whole different thing. Skywalkerxx is GOOD and there’s so much potential in his art. He hasn’t been releasing music for too long but I can tell he’s an Artist who knows exactly who he is so it’s been pretty cool and inspiring to see.
Skywalkerxx is an artist to watch. Go check him out if you haven't yet :)
ps: he recently dropped a new song on Soundcloud called “WAIT”, check it out here.
