Mr. Muzix is a twenty three-year-old artist from Atlanta, Georgia who recently released STAGES. The artist mentions “This album, being my first, is something of a breakthrough through music for me. It covers different stages I have conquered in my life.”
The album starts with “Jennifer” and revolves around organ, piano, bass and what sounds like finger snaps. I liked the instrumental aspect but the focal point is the soulful vocals. The vocals are dynamic and just have a bunch of emotion. Up next is “School Daze'' and it starts with what sounds like vinyl crackle and harp. This song is soulful and more of a slow burn. It works nicely with his voice because he’s able to stretch things out a bit more and really gets those pipes working. “Jersey Girls” is great. The groove here is smooth and more beat heavy with a kick and hi-hat. It’s a reflective song that feels nostalgic and heartfelt. “Convince You To Stay” is a little more R&B infused. There are overlapping vocal harmonies on the hook and some other elements such as synths which add to the mood. “SOAPBOX” is about contemporary issues like George Floyd and due process. It’s also a very subdued song that is smooth as silk and very serene. “Corner Store” is a 180 in terms of mood. It’s upbeat and the music sounds like the lyrics. He sings about starting his day which seems to be going pretty well. “All White Dress” is an atmospheric ballad while “Carriage Park” is a single worthy song that has a memorablehook. The album continues with “Precious Pearls,” “Fallin’ (the Unfinished Song)” and finally the sentimental closer “STAGES.” The artist has some serious talent as a musician in multiple ways. I think the vocal work is exceptional. This was a release I found very easy to appreciate. Take a listen.
