Incredible Fresh R and B Singer You Need to Hear
There’s a brand new R and B artist who just came into public view who makes hot new music, and he is shaking up everyone’s notions of what pop, R&B, or radio friendly tunes are like. In the past, pop music has been considered fun fluff – meaning, it’s like cotton candy. Pleasant and fun in the moment but never what would be thought of as meaningful or substantial.
It generally is about one or two ubiquitous subjects, like falling in love or out of it, and it utilizes about fifty rhyming words that show up in the millions of songs put out by the thousands of performers that all sound exactly the same (think “love” and “above” – you get the idea). This is the kind of music you would use if you had a personal trainer certification and teach an aerobics class. On the opposite extreme, you have what can be described as serious music. This would describe types of music like classical or jazz, or even lyrically witty and more grown up style bands like Dave Matthews band. This music is awesome, but is rarely thought of as fun, or the kind of music that makes you want to get up and shake your booty. There’s serious music and then there’s fun music – and never the twain shall meet. Until now.
With his hit song Big for Me, Jd Webb is turning those ideas and labels upside down. Before I was given Big for Me for review as a niche marketing webmaster with many music sites, admittedly, I was thinking it would be your usual R&B dance jam. “I give it a 10, it’s got a good beat, you can dance to it,” kind of music. And Big for Me certainly is danceable fun for your iPod or for the club, to be sure. But it also explores a deeper concept. It’s not just about that heady sensation of initial attraction – it’s about a protagonist that is shocked at he sees himself making changes in his life to accommodate his love interest and be more conducive to their life together. It’s not how he usually acts, which is why he says, “That’s Big for Me.”
The song takes the concept of falling in love and explores it in a way that is deeper and more interesting than the surface. And any person that’s been in love can tell you that the feelings on that level of love are just as overwhelming and exactly as wonderful as initial attraction – in fact, more so! Likewise, Webb’s music has started with the Pop genre and explored it on a level that’s deeper and more interesting. And, exactly like love itself, that’s made it so much fuller and richer – and infinitely better.
