Budding Urban Hip-Hop and R&B Artist birthofadam First Official LP, “Soul Ties” Marks a Significant Milestone in His Flourishing Career.
I have listened to many artists who deliver some fascinating narratives with their music, but I’ve only known quite a few to incorporate their stories with such poignancy, honesty, and profoundly heartfelt convictions as Brooklyn, NY-based artist birthofadam alias Adam. He is such a brilliant singer with a voice that keeps on getting better and feels like a red velvet cake. From his previous EP “Love. Thyself” to this new project “Soul Ties” the growth is unquestionable as he comes back better with tracks oozing raw talent, charisma, and critically deserved acclaim. In an industry dominated by major labels, manufactured sounds, and mainstream radio, birthofadam continues breaking boundaries with his rare authenticity, integrity, and unchecked passion.
As you probably know or don’t, we exist in a musical world where R&B and soul often wobble between nostalgia and innovation. For birthofadam, he has been carving out a unique space with his infectiously smooth and passionate music. He is not just another name in the buzzing sea of rising talents; he is a beacon of vulnerability and inspiration, poised to redefine the genre in the most original way.
The amount of vulnerability and raw emotions surrendered in his newest LP “Soul Ties” makes it worthwhile. This is a 14-track project worthy of fanfare and marks birthofadam’s own journey marked by growth, constant evolution, and discovery.
His vocals are so much better here, expressive, emotive, gracefully slinky, velvety, and with a harmonious touch, riding glossily over the polished production as he sings tales of love, heartbreak, reminiscence, self-worth, toxicity, and other relatable themes that have been manufactured from his own personal experiences as well as those close to him.
You might think that most of the tracks’ slick combination of R&B and hip-hop isn’t the most original idea out there right now, but birthofadam manages to find his own niche with the sheer presence of his impressive personality. His voice alternates between silky soulful smooth to rhapsodic and urgent, carrying both the tribulations of his life with the glorious sweetness that has lifted him out of it.
The intro “Soul Ties” is as smooth, nostalgic, and heart-lifting as you’d like; delivered in a soulfully poetic tone and timbre as birthofadam captures the essence of soulful R&B over a delicate instrumental foundation that stirs the heart and soul as the mere emotive words fulfill a person’s listening desires.
For anyone who might feel like the past memories of their ex-lover are too weighty to carry and wish to have them back and build on what they had, perhaps they will find solace in the single “Home” which is a ballad of reminiscence.
“Leather” is also soulful and nostalgic, with a deep emotional resonance inspired by the familiar tale of a love worth chasing. Fueled with raw passion and honest emotions, the vocals vividly paint what this song is all about, as its eclectic foundation contributes to its far-reaching appeal.
“What It Takes” is palpably melancholic with poignant lyrics that convey the inevitable battle with a toxic relationship.
There is so much more on offer with this full-length LP as birthofadam continues establishing himself as the next big thing in hip-hop, R&B, and soul, finding listeners wherever they may be with instantly identifiable themes over some inimitable productions.
Stream this LP in its entirety and find a home in your playlist for the songs you find irresistibly enjoyable. As you do, remember the name birthofadam because you’ll be hearing a massive lot of it!
