The opening of Blue Soul Ten’s 10 Percent throws you into a quick drum and bass beat, with a melancholy piano loop that gently tosses you into the mind of the songwriter Claye Greene, the face of Blue Soul Ten.
This new album comes out after the release of Beautiful Warrior, one of a set trilogy. The artist’s three albums address themes of bravery and speaking out about internal and external conflict.
The new album, released today, takes you through themes of different kinds of love: the timid kind, the love for family, and the love that plays supportive roles for the ones you care about the most.
The lyrics are clean as a whistle and the instrumentation is worldly. The deeper you get into the album the better it gets, adding sounds inspired from different cultures and regions.
The most important take away from this album is it is chill, but still warm enough for life to come through. The R&B melodies seem reminiscent of something from the 90s but the production keeps it current and modern.
The best tracks include Life, Make it Hot, and Purpose (feat. IV). These tracks have the most balance of beats, lyrics, and production.
Blue Soul Ten delivers great new album you can share with anyone at any age. The subject matter is family friendly and genre-merging. Ten Percent is an album worth giving a listen. Request Blue Soul Ten on WMCO 90.7, call (740) 826-8907.
