7am on Court St by Che
Toronto Music Archive
Che delivered an impressive performance on his latest single, "7am on Court St." The beat kicks off the song with a lot of energy and anticipation. Even though it's a new track, the melodic vocal choir in the instrumentals is such a classic sound and effect that it brought back memories. That element alone added a lot of atmosphere to the song and helped build up to Che's verse. Che has a strong and confident cadence. He has a great vocal tone that gives him a lot of edge. His rhythms and flows are catchy and exciting. He has excellent lyrical articulation, resulting in music that is both exciting and profound in its meaning, something that most music today lacks. That's what I get from this track; it has a lot of great energy to vibe to while also delivering some great lyrical content to enjoy and process. His freestyle approach adds so much more weight to it. The grand instrumentals provide a powerful and memorable experience, creating a memorable and deep atmosphere that contributes to this track feeling larger than life. Building an atmosphere around your music is critical; atmospheres are something that many artists overlook or don't pay enough attention to. Lyrics aside, how your listener reacts to your music is determined by the atmosphere you create. After they've heard the song a few times, the atmosphere and emotion they experience while listening to it will determine when and why they listen to it again. I'm curious to see where Che's talents will take him next. This year, we definitely need an album, some sort of a project with a diverse set of sounds. But more importantly, we need some major collaborations. I can already see Che working well with the city's other talented artists. The underground has some of the best in the industry that are on the edge of breaking out. His lyrical touch would add depth and significance to the music of many artists in the city. Regardless what he does, I'm here for the journey.
