Snowday – Snowy Weather

Snowday, written and produced by Snowy Weather, is an average entry into the hip-hop/rap field. While it may boast a stunning production, its song-writing is severely lacking.

It’s not without its highlights; Calm boasts some incredible lush and impressive instrumentation – especially in contrast to modern hip-hop. The unconventional instrumentation sounds smooth amidst the extremely ordinary composition. Luxury’s flow is exceptionally well performed; the track is overall mesmerising and remarkably well executed. Glorywave’s flow on both tracks are graceful and charming, as is Snowy Weather’s. Much could be said about Snowy Weather’s vocals throughout the rest of the album - they are always well implemented, though unfortunately they sound overly sterile and are hard to differentiate from literally any rnb artist on the radio.

The vocal delivery overall is such a shame, because many of the remaining songs have a beautiful atmosphere. An artificial, synthetic, harrowing atmosphere perfectly accompanies the cold beats on Diamonds. Momma’s Lil-Peep-esque instrumentation is vulnerable and down-to-Earth. The album cannot recover from its bland compositions, though; plainly evident on songs such as When I’m Gone and Afternoon Delight, which add nothing to the cannon of music. Moreover, the best songs are underdeveloped, such as Momma.

While these songs would perfectly vibe on a chill rnb Spotify playlist, they would fail to make any waves on this side of the internet. Perhaps if the album was more daring and attempted to cultivate a personality of its own, it would stand out. As it stands, it can only blend-in with the crowd of music that influenced it.
