ET Reed gets introspective on a top tier single, "Directions"
An exceptional vibe from start to finish, ET Reed is continuing to ride her talented wave, this time with a brand new single titled “Directions”. Read on as we share our complete thoughts on the track, as well as a background on this emerging artist.
ET Reed's latest single "Directions" showcases her unique blend of “boom-bap Hip Hop” and melodic prowess. As a rising independent hip-hop artist, Reed's music is a refreshing change of pace in the current music scene. Her latest track, released on April 30th, speaks to the emotional journey of wanting to grow and change with people who may not be able to do so. It’s an even keel mix of introspective lyrics, paired perfectly with a top tier production, and full showcase of ET’s artistry.
The track opens with a simple yet atmospheric soundscape that sets the tone for the entire song. Reed's delivery is effortless and her flow rides the beat perfectly. The chorus is the highlight of the track, featuring Reed's signature melodies layered over a catchy vocal sample. The production is clean and allows Reed's vocals to take center stage. Usually our major gripe with Hip Hop is overproduction, taking away from the message of the artist, however in this case the balance and low key nature was absolutely the right stylistic decision.
Lyrically, "Directions" is relatable to anyone who has ever felt stuck in a relationship or situation where growth seems impossible. Reed's message is clear - sometimes we need to take control and move forward without those who are holding us back. The song is a call to action for listeners to take a hold of change and empower themselves to improve their lives.
As an independent artist, ET Reed is making a name for herself with her unique style and relatable lyrics. "Directions" is a prime example of her talent and potential for success. With her previous track "Ridiculous" already gaining momentum, it's clear that ET Reed is a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene. She’s actively creating music that’s meaningful and holds power, a major factor in us already hoping for more music to be shared.
