Digital Drug Deals- An Analysis of blackbear

I chose to do my track by track review of the album digital druglord by the artist blackbear. blackbear is a singer, songwriter, and record producer who is best known for his R&B style music. I like to think that he makes music for the people who are heartbroken but don't want to listen to the sappy, sad songs. What draws me to his music is that, more often than not, he's mad. His anger and depression feed off of each other and create some really beautiful music. His music could serve as the soundtrack playing in your head when you see your ex out in public with their new significant other. Just like his nom de plume, blackbear rarely capitalizes his songs, which is so casual it feels almost personal.  "hell is where i dreamt of u and woke up alone" The opening of this song somehow conveys the feeling of a hangover, like I can feel my head and body aching. The piano backing is perfect for matching the points of his songs and fits with the tone of the song. bla
