American artist Cloud Vincent kicks off the year with a new sound in his latest single “BEST TIME” released on February 10th. Vincent has a diverse music portfolio that includes pop, indie, hip-hop, and R&B genres that he sometimes mixes together. Although Vincent began learning piano and choir singing at a young age, he realized that he lacked passion for both. During his university years in Paris, he began exploring his musical interests and joined various rock bands to gain experience. This journey helped him discover his own sound and by the time he finished his studies, he had already started working on his solo project. In 2020 he released his debut single “Down the Road” followed by his debut EP “Naive Summer”.
“BEST TIME” is a blend of pop and R&B with industrial elements based on a neo-soul guitar line supported by a groovy synth bass and an industrial beat. Vincent alternates between singing catchy lyrics and rapping with perfect flow. At the one-minute mark, he starts experimenting further with a mean and bouncy synth bass sprinkled with a fast-picked single-note guitar in the background creating a unique and full soundscape. The outro showcases his guitar skills with a catchy and melodic guitar lick.
“BEST TIME” is guaranteed to give you a good time with its full atmosphere that draws you in as the song progresses and leaves you wanting more due to its many progressions. With his new sound Cloud Vincent is bound to make waves and as he said “This is my first single of many for 2023”, be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming releases.
