Sækyi has dropped off a new full-length project, titled Angels Don't Call Me, that weaves together lush alternative R&B and hip-hop soundscapes with a certain understated grace. Hailing from the rising musical hotbed of Virgina, a state that has produced a number of strong creative minds of late, Sækyi continues to carve his own path with this 9 song set of elegant tracks. Preceded by emotive singles like "Pressure" and "Angels Don't Call Me", his new album presents a poignant concoction of progressive R&B and hip-hop stylings.
On Angels Don't Call Me, Sækyi peppers the tracklist with hypnotic, rich grooves and silky, versatile vocals that find him showcasing his skills as both a singer and rapper. Songs like "The Forgotten" and "I Still Love You" contain a warm tenderness, expressed through watery, immersive keys and grounded, infectious bass-lines. His versatility shines on songs like "Without You", which contrast this sound with a much more hard-hitting, cathartic feel. On "Without You", he flows at a rapid pace with captivatingly raw delivery, capturing the electrifying energy of the beat. Closer "I Will Wait For You" is anthemic, and provides a genre-bending sound that draws from rock, hip-hop, and R&B for a heart-racing listen.
Overall, Angels Don't Call Me is an emotionally potent, genre-defying sonic journey that takes the listener deep within the mind state of Sækyi.
