Hope is the vital life-force, the animating principle of quintessence…
And the restoration of ordinary living, after calamity, balances the mind and brings lucidity…
Thus, with TWIVEE’s new track“Picking up the Pieces” [feat. singer-songwriter Josh Bailey] he begins with a jarring, discordant guitar-sound before the consecrated voice ascends like the beau idéal. The rap has fierce fervor, whip cracking speed and effervescent ability and the lyrics don’t give away lost shots… each utterance hits the target: straight to the heart.
The faltering beats are circumspect and understandable given the enormous panorama and perspective of this unfolding family drama, re-told. There is a pensive sadness in the margins of this number too, but it never comes across as overemotional or maudlin.
In a world where we (all) sweat collective rumps over the slightest triviality or tiny bruises to our ego, it is comforting to find an artist who is willing to deepen his psyche, to establish what is wrong, then go fix it…
And Twivee proves he doesn’t get angry, he doesn’t clown it, and he doesn’t boast. He realizes that it takes honesty to bring hope…
Hope is the seedstock of honesty. And it’s the only way to patch things up and bring things back.
“…In this music I find my faith again…
And find restitution in this place to vent”
Got something to say? Go for it!
