Gilbere Forte' - I Know My Love
Artist: Gilbere Forte'
Producer: Raak & Forte'
Album: 87 Dreams
Label: EPIC
Having announced his arrival on the scene with synth-soaked street banger My Time and provided a case study in hip-rock done right on the Freelance Whales-assisted 1st Floor, Gilbere Forte’ has already proven that he can conquer pretty much any rap subgenre he pleases – the only question is, which will it be this time? If you haven’t guessed from the title, I Know My Love finds the Philly resident venturing into “R&B-informed relationship jam” territory, spinning a bittersweet tale of love gone sour over his and co-producer Raak‘s pop-appealing yet intriguingly unpredictable synth boardwork. In addition to lending a hand behind the boards and lacing the track with some characteristically deft flows, the artist acts as his own hookman, delivering smooth chorus vocals wreathed in glittering harmonies. Is there anything this man can’t do? Fans can discover the full range of this buzzmaker’s talents on his 87 Dreams mixtape, which has yet to receive a solid release date, but you’ll know as soon as we do.

Gilbere continues to impress me. I've heard five of his records and each and every one of them has been super dope. I am greatly looking forward to his entire project, which we hope to have for our readers for direct download at the Booth!

Damn, I didn't know Forte could do it like this. Who knew that the man who did a deeply experimental track with an indie folk band like Freelance Whales could flip the script so completely and make an engaging radio cut. This has some serious potential to blow - here's hoping it does.
A little Drake-ish? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

At first listen I was quickly ready to slap two stars on this track, even though I could see the catchy appeal. On the second listen I, reluctantly, started gettin into the track. It has radio potential, while still having a quirky beat to make it seem unpredictable. The synths that get sort of annoying after a while are also the element that keeps this from being too poppy and slow. I will give this a 2.5 and say it is growin on me.

Wow, was that really him on the hook? The guy really does have some pretty smooth vocals and his verses were definitely above average. Overall, Very impressed as of the last couple of tracks that he has released. 87 Dreams is gonna be great.

I'm thinking I'm gonna hit up that direct download for this project when it comes out. Decent dance beat without the corny-ness, and multi talented from the likes of that smooth hook, and production.
