Spree Wilson - Don't Pass Me By
Artist: Spree Wilson
Producer: Esthero, Co-prod. Hot Sugar and Spree Wilson
Album: The Never Ending Now
Label: Unsigned
Let it not be said that restless creativity and eclecticism don’t pay off; in late 2010, after years of innovation and numerous Booth-acclaimed features, ATL mainstay Spree Wilson finally got the break he was waiting for. Now that he’s signed to Jive, you might expect the man to be popping bottles left and right, but the latest leak off Spree’s major-label debut is a decidedly cozy, downtempo affair. Understated but poignant, Don’t Pass Me By sees Esthero (with co-production by Wilson and Hot Sugar) blending soft guitar, string and bells into a warm backdrop for the headliner’s reflections on the high hopes and insecurity that accompany a budding relationship. After Spree’s opener, Esthero steps out from behind the boards to offer the female perspective (and showcase her luxurious vocal stylings) on the closing verse. Needless to say, love ballads this smooth and genuine don’t come along every day. Those digging this uniquely fresh offering can find Pass Me By and much more on Spree Wilson’s latest album, The Never Ending Now, set to hit store shelves and online retailers in February.

Spree Wilson's music reminds me of... um.... nobody! His musical direction and tastes might be different (like, say, Theophilus London or Gilbere' Forte), but his execution is always on point. Do as the song says... don't pass him by this time.

Absolutely beautiful. It takes an artist with a real belief in his music and vision to do something this quiet and simple - it's much easier to hide behind complicated beats.
With this one song Spree instantly joins my list of must hear artists. I'm stoked to hear what else he has in store for us.

I loved Spree Wilson's past work on the booth. I said he sounds a lot like B.o.B. and i still feel that way. But anywho, this is a very great song from him. The production from Esthero is so smooth and such a enjoyable listen. This is one of the smoothest, great listens in a while.
