Of
Note: ‘Call It Off’ by Shamir
There’s
so much going on in Shamir’s new single, ‘Call It Off’, that is would be
difficult to call attention to it all.
Let’s
start with that voice! What an amazing
instrument. What a jaw-dropping range.
I’ll be
honest… I thought this was being sung by a woman. It is not.
Shamir
seems to be a part of a new, Nicki Minaj-inspired, male singer surge (find
Toddrik Hall on YouTube). Shamir is what
Jermaine Stewart hath wrought, but even edgier and much more off the beaten
path.
Next –
check out that Teddy Riley / Michael Jackson thing he’s got going in the
background. It is dead on. Damn thing percolates, gets under your skin
and finds a place to live in your head.
Rather
fascinated by this young man.
Twenty-year
old Shamir is from Las Vegas and soon to belong to the world.
