ONE Fáris

There’s no stopping the budding hitmaker, since last year’s Private Suite 5 release, he’s dropped the collaborative THJ Radio Vol.1, the explanatory titled Rap Sanga, even a dance project, WYA? I’m not mad any more and another R&B offering with the fourth instalment to his Ye Ali & Chill Series.

The grammy winner continues to elevate R&B with this 8 track project, leading with the catchy Leave The Party, where he blends his soulful prowess and ability to rap, into the harmonious Catch Feelings. As he continues to evolve as an artist, he’s definitely looking to glide through genres, displaying some more raps on Her Side, but like the singing, he’s able to effortlessly experiment with flows and cadences, as evident on Hopefully, a smooth merge of the two. Track 5, Concept, though feels like an interlude being the shorter of songs, with it’s uplifted chords and nostalgic synths, contrasts the sexy IV Way, a darker and more sultry sound in comparison to Track 7, (another fan favourite) Come Inside, though similar, it feels more weighted, and is another display of modern R&B with those old school elements. Further drawing on those elements, he closes out the project with the percolative outro Secret Oasis, concluding another solid offering with Ye Ali & Chill 4.

At this point, it’s too easy for him, but what’s pure about his artistry is that where most are focusing on their branding, his is being built of his attention to the music across the board, something that makes Ye Ali not just prominent but provides longevity.
