Reigning Supreme, James Roan’s Mystifying and Gripping Album “Power Forward” Is Out Now

James Roan is a cutting-edge American rapper, recording artist, songwriter, and narrator who grew up in Miami, Florida. He is on the right side of history this time as the inventive and talented creative has continued to masterfully craft a distinct sound that has quite never been heard before in the Hip hop industry. Having grown tired of hearing the same similar sounds everywhere, he decided to take the Rap mantle and steer the Hip hop sound towards another refreshing direction and boy has he done it. He owes credits for his love for music to his family who always played music by legendary acts throughout his childhood, who undeniably had a huge influence on his undoubted affection for the music game. “Power Forward” is the perfect example of trials and tribulations and epitomizes unrivaled resiliency having worked on it for more than 6 years, putting it off and canceling it off a few times. A listener will indisputably appreciate the fact that he did not give up on it because this 11-set collection is the best thing you’ll ever hear and that investment of 32 minutes and 41 seconds of your time is certain to reward you significantly with inundated joy, exhilarating experience, motivational energy, and an educated mind to show for it.

He put together a real-life authentic experience that is sure to resonate with music lovers everywhere as its insightful and educative lyrics layered perfectly with an artistic blend of various instrumentations and some damn great fitting melodic chord progression, luring you into his lucid fever dream. There is the sensation of the R&B rhythms, the percussions of the smooth and laid-back melodicism, and the vibrancy of the heavy bass and commercial beats. This indescribably beautiful work of art is definitely going to grab cultural attention from industry peers and Hip hop fanatics across the musical scene. Talk about the hedonic start with the hypnotic and equally intriguing “Intro Overtime” with its heavy synthesized bass sound. The only sad thing about it is that it is over before you know it. A short but sweet 1 minute and 53 seconds. “What’s Up Now?” has that feel-good vibe reminiscent of the southern Hip hop style with its well-produced and arranged upbeat percussion layered with entrancing chord progressions and harmonic synths.  The track reminds us that we have to get up and move on despite downfalls we may encounter on our various journeys, the repeated rhythmic element of “Yeah we took a loss, what’s up now?” drives the energy and emphasis of this reflective track.

“Engine Running” is a free-flowing track from the start to the end complemented by James Roan’s first-rate lyricism and songwriting as his voice brilliantly expresses the song’s concept with an aura of unmistakable genuineness that will compel you to listen to it more than one time. “No Thank you (Interlude)” is a short emotional real-life word scenario as James takes you through his struggles of the music industry and what upcoming acts have to go through before they can even get people to listen to their songs for free, can you imagine! One particular person from the audio is heard asking, “Is it on Radio?” before politely declining the music CD and walking away. All the other songs in this album take on a life of their own and are tremendously descriptive and will magically paint a vivid picture for the listener of whatever emotions he is trying to portray. All of these captivating fascinations are backed by his intricate wordplay, ingenious metaphors, and heavy punchlines. What this groundbreaking album has done is confirm his undisputed claim of taking Hip hop genre to the next level by introducing a distinct style with his blend of a variety of real-life themes, natural mysticism with a fashionable soundscape. The king has arrived!
