Masspike Miles - Walked Away
Artist: Masspike Miles
Producer:
Album: The Struggle
Label: Maybach Music/Warner Bros.
A Boston crooner with a uniquely ‘hood-influenced style (and a penchant for collabs with Maybach general Rick Ross), Masspike Miles has carved out a niche by catering to listeners who prefer their R&B with a little inner-city grit… until now, anyway. Whether a radio-ready departure from the norm or a harbinger of a stylistic sea change, new single Walked Away showcases a side of the singer not encountered on his previous features. Here, a currently-unknown producer’s crossover-courting guitar/piano production sets the mood as Masspike pours out his heart, informing us just how devastated he’s been since the woman he loved walked out of his life. Though his tears have dried up, he’s still struggling to put the pieces of his shattered world back together – in fact, he’s so devastated that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to love again. While it’s hard to argue with this cut’s combo of heartfelt emotion and pop appeal, I’ll leave it to Booth readers to decide whether its more vulnerable vibe is a good look for Masspike Miles. If you’re digging it, keep it locked for release details on Miles’ The Struggle LP, which has yet to receive a drop date.

Still traveling, little time for insights, but...
Miles, whose usual sound is highly unmistakable, sounds a bit like the R&B norm these days. Catchy song, but nothing original or unique about it. |

Because there seems to be no love for this track i'm gonna give some right now. In reality it's a 4 star song though. Nice song with a good message. Should definitely see some good success on the radio.
