So this week's single was "3005" by Childish Gambino.
Childish Gambino is a 30 year old hip-hop rapper and musician from Los Angeles.
The intro is electronic abrupt beats which carry on all the way through. At the beginning he sings and the texture is thin, then he starts to rap and the backing stays as the simple beats. At the first chorus spacey drawn out notes are added and more percussion betas, that sound very wooden. This song is catchy and even if you don't like hip-hop or rap you have to admit that this guy has talent. This song is poppy, but not as much that makes it un-listenable, or so much that you can't appreciate the talent of the singer. At the end all other sound is suddenly stopped and there is a melody that sounds like it is being played from inside a room padded with cloth. I like this effect but it's not a revelation.
Overall I think this guy has talent but it is too hip-hoppy for me to listen to it for too long. So I'll give it 5/10.
