I couldn’t wait to tell about this seemingly ambient, soothingly captivating, and memorably chill masterclass that has been dropped by multitalented rapper, singer, producer, engineer, songwriter, and DJ ASTO. “Take a Picture” is the kind of music that hits like that warmth of the ray of sunshine on your face on a chill morning as you wake up and overlook the beautiful expanse of the earth. He exudes an irresistible warmth himself with his infectious lyrics and hooks over the laid-back and inviting beats that harken back to the golden age of hip-hop and rap.
The lyrics to “Take a Picture” are as vivid and graphic as the title itself—alluding to that special kind of moment with someone close to you, chilling together, rocking to some good music together, and bumping your heads to the infectious impact the music has on you as you share not only earphones but also the indescribably beautiful memories that such moments bring about.
ASTO surely knows his craft, and here, he exudes a mature and confident tone, and still he is not rushed—his laid-back demeanor works well with the mellifluent beats unfolding before him to create this earworming cadence that imprints itself permanently on a listener’s heart and soul.
“Take a Picture” is perfect for creating long-lasting memories between two people with nothing but the exquisite beauty of the music bringing you closer together and forging this strong, shatterproof bond that has been a long time coming.
This is cool music for equally cool and chill people who always take their time to feel the music and let it have control over them because they know better. As a DJ, ASTO flexes his scratching muscles as the track progresses, adding color, depth, and excitement to this tune of its own kind.
“Take a Picture” is best enjoyed over a shared moment, somewhere within the realm of nature’s beautiful expanse, as the beauty of the smile of that special person lightens the mood, and as she bumps her head to the music, you remove that camera and snap a photo—a lasting one to bond this moment in time!
