Jared Evan - They Don't Look at Me the Same
Producer: Ratatat
Album: Radio in My Head Mixtape [Extended Version]
Label: Zone 4/Interscope
It’s a story as old as the music game itself: an enterprising up-and-comer breaks his (or her) back working his way up from the very bottom, and when he finally makes it, the people around him reveal their two-faced nature. On his latest Booth feature, What I Want singer/emcee Jared Evan laments that, now that he’s signed to a major deal with Interscope, They Don’t Look at Me the Same. Breaking Away, a downbeat, synth-driven instrumental track by electronic duo Ratatat (CuDi‘s collaborators on Pursuit of Happiness) pulses in the background as Evan sets the story straight: “This is not a plan… so if you think that I’ve changed, then I’ve only stayed the same.” While those committed to hater-ism are unlikely to change their tune after hearing what J.E. has to say, listeners in the Booth will doubtless praise this reflective cut as highly as they did his previous features. Fans can find TDLaMtS on a forthcoming, expanded edition of the artist’s Radio in My Head mixtape, due out this March. In addition, stay tuned for Jared Evan’s contribution to our exclusive freestyle series, set to hit our front page soon!

I said it on Twitter the other day and I'll just do a little copy/paste job here: Nobody - and I mean nobody - is doing what Jared is doing right now. He is mixing hip hop, pop, jazz, funk, alt rock, and punk. And nothing sounds forced.
Highly enjoyable.

Not bad; the beat is irritatingly disjointed at times, but the message of the song is what makes it memorable. It's very unique, though.

The beat is so awkward in the beginning, the lyrics are straight when he's not repeating stayed the same

I can totally see how the best throws people off at first, but if you let the track ride for a minute it slowly but surely starts to work. This dude's the definition of talented, can't wait to hear more.

This is a grower. I like how vocals have ultra-soft seriousness to them that can lull you into a hazy little communion with the music. Rotation fa sho!

I agree with what Z said about his combining different genres. Creative stuff that this guy is putting out lately. I also see what Nathan is saying about the beat. It did kinda throw me off at first but I got into the track as it went on. Jared Evan has a lot of talent no doubt. Hoping for a big year for him.

The production doesn't sound complete to me, I do however appreciate Jared doing something fresh with the blending of the styles of music. I think he needs a little practice with it is all.
