| 2.8 good | Erwann S. STAFF | October 27th 22 |
serpentwithfeet's got one hell of a voice to sing R&B - one would say he's got the voice to sing R&B. Coupled with bass-y beats, that record should be a blast, innit? Dunno why, but it all falls so flat. Never displeasing, constantly alright, but rarely more than that.

What else could you expect from someone who studied Vocal Arts in Philadelphia? The flurry of vocal arrangements steals the show here, with the pulsing, sparse backgrounds serving as the perfect framework for a twisted saga of emotion. "wrong tree" shows serpentwithfeet taking three steps past neo-soul, functioning closer to a modern version of the Beach Boy's "Smiley Smile" that might exist in the upside-down. It can be a challenging listen at times, after the perfectly woven feeling of despair in "cherubim", the listener keeps waiting for the next minimalistic outbreak, but it just never quite comes. Despite this, "soil" is an exceptional debut album that deftly works around the boundaries of today's R&B and neo-soul styles.
