Feel trapped inside the box of genre? A music box that, when opened, fails to inspire? Lyrics high on cute, but low on truth? Well, step inside the "Elevator," the debut album performed and executived produced by spoken word artist, Mr. Wyatt.
Employing a vocal style that floats, screams, rushes and soothes, Mr. Wyatt takes listeners on a ride to truth and vulnerability; revealing the substance of a man and visions of a world quickly fading into the darkness of political chaos, social dysfunction and corporatization of culture; a world the poet admits a, for better and for worse, contribution to. Equal parts confessional and socio-political manifesto, no words are minced when Mr. Wyatt enters the eclectic soundscape constructed by producer, Nan Corvington.
In a daring blend and bending of genres, from punk, jazz fusion and gospel to hip-hop and blues drenched R&B, Elevator, mixed by grammy nominated engineer Joe Ayoub, continuously provides new ear candies for music heads and issues a clear and dramatic undertone for Mr. Wyatt's passion-fueled poetics.
The SRC label excitedly presents, Elevator, an audio-journey that pulls back the shadows of the world and exposes an artist who prays that God hears our struggle and answers with hope.
