Parts of me think that Twitter is very silly and I feel ridiculous posting what I feel is trivial information, but on the other hand I now have more access to information I would have heard by the time it became old news or never found. So far I've had the pleasure of discovering
hitRECord, being up to date with my favorite bands (
Tokio Hotel and
Gorillaz!), and now I'm being followed by
Smart Music Entertainment (that actually sounds a lot creepier when I type it...)
Anyway, I decided to check it out and found this artist that they really seem to care about:
Ron Patterson. So I listened to a few of his songs and it sort of took me back to my childhood in the sense that it reminded me of the R&B music that I listened to way back when I was younger, like Seal's version of "Fly like an Eagle" or R. Kelly's "I Believe I can Fly," but with a more modern backdrop. (Goodness, I haven't listened to those songs in years, but today I finally went back and did. Memories can be so sweet.) Anyway, I downloaded the remix of his song "Clockwork"
for free, and it's a real feel-good song with a great beat. The bass is very prominent and definitely vibrates in your eardrums, and Lil Wayne still sounds like a gremlin, but it adds to the funk/hip-hop feel and doesn't take away that it's quite a smooth song.
Overall, I give it a 4/5. You're really getting what you don't pay for with the free download.
