Theo Martins - You Don't See
Artist: Theo Martins
Featuring: Jesse Boykins III
Producer: Devon Who
Album: You Can't Do That on TV: The Prequel
Label: Unsigned
For many artists, the musical grind and the fame that (sometimes) results are endless sources of stress. Theo Martins is a different breed. If the dreamy feel of his latest feature is any indication, he finds the music game about as relaxing as a nice, steamy bubblebath… on Valium (kids, don’t try that one at home). You Don’t See finds the Rhode Island-based boat shoe aficionado lifting the veil to give listeners a glimpse of what makes him tick, describing his drive to succeed in a calm, almost murmured flow as beatsmith Devon Who blends simmering synths, powerful bass and headphone-worthy electronic accents. Contributing a characteristically breathy hook, Jesse Boykins III once again asserts his dominance of the “singer who appears on narcotically chill cuts with rappers whose names start with Theo” niche. This track is definitely a change of pace from the headliner’s previous features, but is this hazy style a good look for Theo Martins? If you’re digging it, be sure to check out You Can’t Do That On TV: The Prequel when it drops in January 2010, as well as his forthcoming EP with Hall of Justus, due out February 2.

Not quite sure how I feel about this yet. I'll wait to rate.

Richard made me spit up my drink not once, but twice while reading this entry in our system earlier today. So thank you, Richard, for being so funny today. Moving along...
A little too laid back for my personal taste, but this alt-hop genre is growing and growing. Thank Cudi and Ye for this type of record. Not to say that Theo bit off their style, but the influence is evident. I personally need a more powerful hook, but Jesse's vocals are always consistent.

I was actually caught off-guard by the real laid-back approach. But I grew to like it as the song went on. The hook and production were both solid. I like it for the purpose it serves. A real good chill track.

This is some definite chill ish. You have to be in a certain mode to listen to this. Dare I see, this actually can be a candidate for you "baby making music" mix. Either that or just riding down the highway at night just drifting off in the introspective moment (of course you can't be the one driving to literally "drift off", but you know what I mean...lol)

The production on this could have been used for a high quality porn, and now that I've mentioned it you'll never be able to listen to You Don't See the same way again. You're welcome.
More importantly, it takes a confident artist not to hide behind huge beats, and Theo Martin deserves some respect for this one. I'm digging it, definitely some real chill ish.

I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A CHILL TRACK, BUT FOR ME IT'S WAY TOO CHILL. I HONESTLY GOT BORED OF IT ABOUT A MINUTE IN. IF THIS WAS A ONE ON ONE PICK UP GAME MUSICALLY I WOULD PICK ANTHONY HAMILTON OR JOHN LEGEND TAKE THIS GUY TO SCHOOL. WORK HARD TRY AGAIN AND BRING YOUR GROWN MAN GAME NEXT TIME KID. I SEE POTENTIAL BUT MY INTEREST WASN'T PEAKED. -REALTALKTRUSTRY

Liking the production, haunting synthesizers and rolling bassline creates an easily enjoyable vibe to groove or chill to but equally at a stronger level can get inside the message. Nice!!

His flow is good but a lil weak...production wasn't bad but really not fitting his flow in my opinion. OK
