As the years slowly closes, there is no end to the music being produced. Thus, in order to finish the year in a funky fashion, young rapper Reyes ††† delivered a moving yet introspective project with James Blunt EP, which sees him explore familiar and new sounds. Kicking off the James Blunt EP is a fantastic intro, “Buenas Nuevas,” a track that sets the jazz rap lo-fi aesthetic that covers most of the project. Afterwards, Reyes ††† delivers “Eso Ya No Va,” a song that features introspection and love over a jazz rap beat, which he further explores in “No Te Miento,” alongside JC. However, he then switches sound with “La Historia De Ella,” a track that shows the young rapper exploring more south rap and 8-bit influenced sounds. Next, he delivers “Solo Solo,” a jazz rap boom bap tune which features some great instrumentation as the musician looks at how he escapes reality through music and use of marihuana. The second part of James Blunt EP starts with “¿Cómo Quieres?,” a trap influenced love tune with psychedelic elements. He then delivers “Todo o Nada,” a track where the young rapper explores his relationship with music and applies some storytelling techniques over an electronic music influenced jazz tune. Afterwards, Reyes ††† provides “Anhelando,” a psychedelic rap song where he explores themes such as time, personal growth, memories, identity and other introspective subjects. Finally, the James Blunt EP ends with “Quédate Hoy” where Reyes ††† once again collaborates with Gucci to deliver a funky love-fueled boom bap tune. As one of the slowly growing project-based musicians, Reyes ††† continues to explore and put into display his ability to create a cohesive body of work with the James Blunt EP, which sets him apart from many of his peers.
