S.O. – So It Continues Review


          

  The Yes, No’s, & Maybe So’s Of S.O. – So It Continues

       I’ll be doing this review differently than I do my other reviews. With this one I’ll be rating every song with a “Yes” “No or “Maybe So” and give a brief reason why I gave it that rating.

1. So It Continues [MAYBE SO] – I love the beat to this song. I even love the lyrics. It’s just with no chorus it feels like the song just drags out for too long. Definitely listenable but sometimes a bit boring.

2. Lamentations ft. Leah Smith [YES] – I definitely love everything about this song. From the beat to the concept to Leah Smith’s vocals. Simply Amazing.

3. I Can Bear [YES] – This is an A+ song. I mean seriously the brother sampled a Kirk Franklin track! Plus, the hook does something to your soul!

4. Away Soon ft. Sean C. Johnson [YES] - Any song that talks about that eternal promise always gets a thumbs up. Not saying all of them are good musically but this one definitely is. One of my favorites on the album right here.

5. Memoirs (Wish You Were Around) [YES] – I can relate to this song BIG TIME! Everything about this song gives me chills. This one has been on repeat the most so far from the album.

6. Radical ft. J.Williams & Lecrae [MAYBE SO] – Don’t get me wrong I think this is a solid song for the album. But, I do think one of two things could’ve been done to make it better. 1. Give S.O. & Lecrae longer verses or 2. Add a 3rd verse to the song.

7. I Am ft. shai linne [YES] – You don’t even have to ask! Any song with Shai is grade A stuff! Plus, the beat! Its face melting! Wooo!

8. Walk In The Son II [MAYBE SO] – I like the song. But, overall from the way it’s done to where it’s placed on the album just throws me off. The song has probably been skipped the most so far.

9. Tell ‘Em All ft. Andy Mineo [YES] – I’ve been rockin’ with this since the video dropped. Classic collaboration right here. I would’ve enjoyed it more if Andy had a verse.

10. You Know It ft. E Tizz [YES] – Ahh a song about the fellas. Well I must say it’s long overdue! Real creative song right here. S.O. has definitely raised the bar with creativity on this album.

11. Elisabeth’s Interlude [NO] – The one and only NO for the album goes to this song right here. Don’t get me wrong it’s creative but to me it’s too much for me. That’s just my opinion though. Plus, the beat does nothing for me either.

12. Yesterday [YES] – I like this song right here. It’s relatable and soul moving. Great addition to the album.

13. Passion & Purity [YES] – Another relatable song right here. This one right here touched me in a different way. I’m glad this song is out there for listening.

14. The End? [YES] – I struggled with whether I should rate this YES or MAYBE SO. At the end of the day it gets a YES. Although the beat doesn’t really fit well with the rest of the album it still doesn’t feel out of place(if that makes sense to you). It’s also a real creative way to end an album. So thumbs up on that!

With 10 YES’s, 1 NO, & 3 MAYBE SO’s this album gets a definite big YES from me! I encourage you all to get it!
