As we discussed during yesterday's Pusha T track, I'm all for experimenting and pushing some boundaries, but not every experiment works (why do you think they call it the lab?). Normally I'm pretty good at delineating between the two - "Fur in My Cap"? Works. "Shades"? Not even close - but this new Spree Wilson "Love You Better" has me confused.
As those who tuned in for his previous effort "Don't Pass Me By" already know, Spree's a rapper/singer/guitar player etc./etc./etc. who's not afraid to take chances, and "Love You Better" certainly rolls the dice. A lot of people have done the rap and r&b hybrid thing, but few have thrown in a New Orleans style funeral march and a house music breakdown on the back end. Damn, I just can't make up my mind on this one. A little help please?
