another nice joint by Apollo Brown… his project “The Reset” can be purchased here
Apollo_Brown-Seasons_Feat_Stik_Figa
“Seasons,” the latest Apollo Brown single off of The Reset, is very much an exercise in melancholy. “I really wanted to hear something on the sad side, some grasping-onto-life type music,” Apollo explains of his vision for the track. The old-time radio crackle, sparse guitar work, and echoing hook provide the perfect backdrop for the wistful lyrics of rising Kansas City emcee Stik Figa, currently working on a full length with producer Oddisee. A longing to escape his hometown and make it big flows through every syllable and the rapper uses seasonal imagery – winter in particular – to represent the stark and unforgiving emotions that can accompany such lofty goals. Still, both Apollo Brown and Stik Figa have achieved a level of success that only comes through perseverance, no better stated than in the line, “With the sun still shinin’ / It doesn’t seem as cold.” “Seasons” explores sentiments we can all relate to and its sadness proves cathartic when coupled with the achievements of the song itself.
