VANITY

This album’s got a smooth vibe throughout, but if I’m being honest, it lacks variety. A lot of the tracks blur together, which can make it feel repetitive. I’ve heard R&B that pushes boundaries a little more, and this one plays it pretty safe. The vocals, though—those are solid. His voice is definitely a highlight, no question.

That said, the ending feels kind of unfinished, like the project just trails off without really wrapping up. It's the kind of album that’s perfect for a chill car ride when you just want to relax, but if you’re looking for something more dynamic, this might not hit that mark.

Overall, it’s a solid collection of sensual love songs, and the dude’s clearly talented with crazy potential. But there are a few spots where the songwriting falls flat, making parts of the EP feel a bit sluggish. Not sure if that was the vibe he was going for, but it didn’t totally land for me. Still, for a first project, it’s definitely not bad. I’m excited to see where he goes from here because he’s got the gift, for sure. Can’t wait to watch him level up.
