Brian Patrick Davis takes on Atlanta Indie Music [INTERVIEW]

Friday, June 3, 2011 by | No Comments | Category: Entertainment

A vision of tribal prints, glitter, and eye-liner. You might see him grooving with Solange Knowles or taking flicks with the half-shaven beauty, Cassie. Brian Davis is the music contributor to ConcreteLoop, there’s always someone with a opinion on music, but Brian’s opinions actually matters. ConcreteLoop was originally distinguished from the slew of other celebrity-centric sites because it has a fine focus on black Hollywood that holds a more diplomatic position on the stars they cover compared to other gossip sites. Angel, the editor and founder, realized the site was taking on a life of itself when she asked Brian Davis to contribute to the site with a focus on music. From there, Brian Davis has done consulting work with plenty, including Atlanta’s own, Janelle Monae. More than a music-obsessed socialite, Brian forges through with his distinct opinions and influence on music. So, Greedmont Park asked the ConcreteLoop contributor and bubbling personality to take a stroll through the park with us while listening to some of our favorite indie acts and asked his opinion on some of Atlanta’s budding independent artist’s notorious songs, all while trying to avoid the the blazing sun. Peep Mr. Davis’ critiques below.

A.Ware – “Sunrise”
Sunrise

My ear was immediately drawn to this the second it came on. I absolutely love the live instrumentation in the production. The thing that I love about hip hop music now, is that people are bringing are bringing great melodic qualities to their hooks. He took command of the track by finding the melody in it and really taking it there. It’s catchy, and it takes me back to a time when music was about a vibe, groove and gave you feeling.

Ethereal – “Don’t Kill This Thing”

Don’t_Kill_This_Thing

I really love the feel of this song so much. It reminds me of the days when I used to turn off all the lights and listen to Esthero’s “Breath From Another” and “O.G. Bitch” EP. But honestly, I wish I would have gotten more of the vocal. If I were to hear this song along with a mix or other songs, I would think that this was a remix by a great DJ or a producer, not a song. The feeling is there in the music, but I wish I could more of a feel of the artist.

Jay West – “+,-”

02_+_-

I loved this song for the first couple of verses and then I got lost. I tried listening to it a couple of different times, but each time, it became background music, after the first couple of verses. With rap, I need to stay captivated and I loved what Jay West was talking about at first, but then I got lost in the track little bit. The song didn’t hold my attention for as long as I would have liked it to, but in all honesty, it was because HE wasn’t saying anything. I wanted more from him, and I feel like I got too much from the track.

Brittany BoscoIt Was You

Everything that I’ve heard from Brittany Bosco makes me feel like I’m in the future and the past at the same time. Like I was born in 2400 and this song was recorded in 2353. She always seems so effortless, like it just floats out of her with no sort thought process. Her music is just like her shows, which is something that I appreciate. Again, I just wish I could get more of her voice on here, because it’s so beautiful.

This Is London: Greedmont Park talks to Rising Star, Theophilus London

Thursday, March 17, 2011 by | 7 Comments; | Category: Entertainment, Interview

I’m currently taking a psychology class that is aiding me to learn about the human mind and social interaction. A few things are being learned and plenty of my ideas are just being confirmed. She’s crazy, he’s evil. Basically, psychology is a way for me to have some kind of backings to my harsh judgments about people. The bigger picture with me is always pop culture. I apply everything I learn back into popular culture and that includes psychology. My talk with the hipster sensation, Theophilus London, was expected to be a standard interview with a budding electro-rapper. Instead, it turned into a crash-course of fame and what it does some people’s minds.

Greedmont Park Takes A Stroll With MTV Reality Star & Rapper, Shwayze

If the entertainment industry was a high-school, Shwayze would be the cool kid. Gliding through clique to clique effortlessly and bagging a few ladies in his travels, he would be the only kid who could wear crocs and not get clowned by everyone because of a cute smile and the bomb house parties.  Yeah, so it makes sense that the cool kid would give the fly stoners also known as, Greedmont Park, a exclusive interview where we talk about what exactly the W’s mean, porn, and being a new father.
