Tyga - Far Away
Artist: Tyga
Producer: Jess Jackson
Album: Careless World
Label: YMCMB/Universal Republic
As anyone who’s ever committed a relationship-ending f*ckup is well aware, the psychological distance created by one breach of trust can be harder to bridge than any amount of physical space. Judging by the latest single off his long-awaited sophomore set, Tyga had to learn that lesson the hard way; the emotionally-charged Far Away finds the Young Money mainstay haunted by regret as he reminisces about the girl he just left behind. Jess Jackson goes for crossover appeal on the production tip, layering light-rock guitar arpeggios over mournful piano chords as the Compton native reveals just how devastated he is in the wake of their breakup; though he’d “walk a thousand miles just to see her smile again,” (to quote singer Chris Richardson‘s emotionally-charged chorus), he’s painfully aware that the time for reconciliation is past. Careless World still has yet to receive a solid drop date from the Bat Squad/Decaydance/G.E.D./Young Money brass, but Tyga fans fiending for new material can ease their cravings by downloading a copy of the artist’s Black Thoughts 2 mixtape, released in early April and available now online.

Super catchy. Hit potential. Major growth shown by Tyga since the lime and coconut juice days.

nice melody and very catchy. its mos def radio friendly and sinlge worthy. If it was up to me, i'd personally put Bruno Mars on the hook (no disrespects to Chris Richardson). Overall great song and looking forward to a video

The booth is REALLY on a roll today; dope tracks! I'm feelin' that hook, but yeah, I imagine Bruno Mars on this (that'll really seal the deal with a number-one smash). Tyga's nothing special with his lyricism, but that's just right for radio.

With the production and that fantastic hook I see this this good very far especially on the pop charts. Tyga, is growing and selecting good music to showcase his prowess.

I thought it was okay, but the whole track seemed to kind of drag on. The hook was just a little too "high school" for me, if anyone gets what I'm saying.

Great hook and beat. Seriously any rapper could have jumped on this and it would become a hit. Not a big Tyga fan and I think another rapper could have taken this further. I'll give this a 3.5 from Chris Richardson and the production.

...and i agree with Haskyle305, Chris Richardson sounds like Bruno Mars. In fact if this was a B.o.B/Bruno Mars collaboration this would be a billboard #1

The hook makes this song, any rapper could make this a hit. That’s not disrespect to Tyga because he does his thing.
