Artist: Amoré King
Album: Valentine's Day Jordan
Articulation: Phoenix Star 9's Tammy Johnson
Amoré King is back, and he comes with a sharpened flow and a confidence that many artists would die for on his new project, Valentine’s Day Jordan. The album opens up with the track “Questions” over a beat that samples the Frank Ocean rendition of “At Your Best”. This track is smooth and made for lovers with Amoré dropping questions, that ask how true his lover really is. The title track, “Valentine’s Day Jordan” is definitely single material, from the romantic narrative to the smooth rnb lover vibe the entire song is giving off. Some might see it as being soft, but this song is my favorite off the album because Amore makes sure to carefully place his words to flow in a rhythmic cadence that flows well.
“I Ain’t Hearing That”, is just an opportunity for Amoré to leave his swagger all over the beat, he challenges the norm on this song and he brings up the fact that many local rappers are also trappers in their own mind, and he uses this track to bring some braggadacio. If you don’t know who he is, you do now.
The song, “In the Moment”, is another single with high energy, a memorable call and response for the crowd to follow, “we living life in the moment, we don’t give a fuck”. Amoré has managed to create an anthem here, dedicated to the good life, this is actually my second favorite song from this album. Overall, the album sparks fire with stellar beat selection, and smooth bars that are far from mumble rap. He gives you the genuine talent that rap was built on. Amoré King is one to watch.
