ForteBowie - Decatur
Artist: ForteBowie
Featuring: Aleon Craft
Producer: ForteBowie
Album: Something About Bowie
Label: Unsigned
Those who tuned in for ForteBowie’s DJBooth debut The Thesis may be forgiven for thinking that the Atlanta newcomer is just a seriously minded emcee but as he proves on new single Decatur the man’s also a obscure-sample loving producer and a pretty damn good singer too. Behind the boards Bowie grabs a sample of UK artist Bibio’s indie acoustic Lovers’ Carvings and amps up the volume, flexing his minimalistic muscles by adding in some organic percussion. It’s a simple but effective vehicle to deliver Bowie’s instantly relateable vocals, promising a long lost love that if she would only return to his hometown everything that was broken will be repaired. It’s a sentiment that fellow Decaturite (Decaturian?) and solar hip-hop proponent Aleon Craft echoes with a regret soaked guest verse (bonus points for the old school MJB reference). With the kind of range that Thesis and Decatur show there’s no telling what ForteBowie’s upcoming Something About Bowie album will sound like. You’ll just have to check RefinedHype on July 8 to find out.

My thoughts: You don't have to be from Decatur, Georgia to enjoy this record, the production work of Bowie could make any emcee/singer sound smooth/airy, and more artists should shine light on their smaller cities (which are situated near a larger, more obviously well know city - in this case, ATL).

This song is so smooth. Love the breezy production and Bowie's voice is great. His production really highlights his vocals.
