Shane Eli - The Night Is Young
Artist: Shane Eli
Producer: Shane Eli
Album: I Can Do Better
Label: Unsigned
To say that Shane Eli‘s last feature made an impact would be an early candidate for Understatement of the Year. How is the Cali phenom ever gonna follow up the (dare I say) classic When We Were Kings? Well, he’s just gonna do what he always does: create something fresh, unique and completely different from what came before. On nocturnal banger The Night Is Young (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!) smoldering synths, handclap percussion and atmospheric vocal samples set the mood for sensual relaxation, and the freestyle series alum delivers rhymes to match. Alone for the evening with a special female, he encourages her to “release those inhibitions” and tell him her deepest thoughts and feelings before they get down to some physical therapy. A bedroom burner this fresh deserves a high-caliber R&B hook, and Jason Caesar provides just that, delivering more of the silky vocals he used to Relax (Your Mind) on his Booth debut. Yet another unique addition to one of the most consistent and eclectic track records we’ve seen in the Booth, this cut and much more can be found on Eli’s Booth-sponsored I Can Do Better LP, due out March 29.

Songs like "The Night Is Young" are Eli's strength. We already know how comfortable Jason is on slow-burning bangers, but the same is true for Shane.

This is smooth as f*ck. Beat go hard. Caesar kills it on the hook, and Eli brings it as usual. Just played it for my girl and I'm gonna have to log off here to handle business. haha

Sizzling! Shane Eli takes off in yet another direction. This artist producer is capable of anything and everything. Caesar's smooth vocals offer a perfect balance.

This track is disappointing after "When We Were Kings" was such a beautiful piece of music. Don't get me wrong, it's decent. But it's hard to like too much when his first track was so good. I now feel like I need more from Eli than this track. Hopefully his LP will have more tracks like "Kings" and this track will be an album filler.

The hardcore hip-hop heads obviously want Kings over and over again, but I think it's more impressive to have the range to do something a track like that lyrically and a joint that radio will love (without doing some Tooted and Booted type s**t).
Plus the ladies love it, and if the ladies love it.....

This sh*it is SEXY! This is a track I'll definitely have on while I drink a glass of wine and get ready for some play time. I love that Shane can go from a hard hitting track like When We Were Kings to something smooth and light. Versatility is key for any artist...I never want to hear a mixtape filled with 15 tracks of the same.
Jason Caesar does his thing too...love his voice. I will be playing this tonight...all night |

Man, everything Eli touches turns into solid hip-hop... or gold. I love his versatility, probably why 'Push' was so classic to me. I'm truly pumped for the release of 'I can do better'. And I'll be buying it, not downloading...
