To have a moniker like SIR you are commanding respect from your listeners from the start. Inglewood, CA's own SIR drops his soulfully-hip, "Seven Sundays" EP, which is a preview of his forthcoming release this year, will make you pay attention. He could sing yabba dabba do and make it sound fresh and sensual with his swift, playful, harmonic vocals over sick drums, keys and strings. The production throughout this project had a nice balance of a live band feel with touches of electronic patterns and accents. If this project had no lyrics, the music by itself would speak volumes. It wraps you up, holds you tight and takes you to several stimulating places. As great as this sounds, trust me, you WANT the lyrics. They paint vivid scenarios with his artistic, poetic choice of words.
I listened to this album many times, and it made me wish I was in the studio during the recording of this project just to experience the goodness first-hand. His vocal performance is so passionate, penetrating and genuine. He touches on all the best and unfortunate realities of love and life, which makes "Seven Sundays" so easy to fall in love with. His song "Love You" makes you want and believe in love all over again. It just felt like pure love without ulterior motives. Wooooh, good shhhh bro. SIR's music is so dope I had to put him on the Really Not Radio Show: Best of 2014!
Before I get out of here I have to mention he is surrounded by greats. Some of the most talented artists based in Los Angeles, CA in my humble opinion. I peeped this while attending his live show last month when he was the featured artist for the last Soulection show at The Echoplex. One of his background singers was Tiffany Gouche who I've been following for quite some time who's an amazing singer/songwriter and producer. SIR also received some major assists on "Seven Sundays" from super-dope all around entertainer Mr. Anderson Paak, and newbies to ME artist Fat Ron and D Smoke.
