Reasons – Alizadeh,akshin

Description

Azerbaijan’s Akshin Alizadeh bursts through sonic borders with “Reasons,” his first single on Cold Busted since 2014’s phenomenal “Woman of the Ghetto.” Inspired by -and creatively utilizing – a vocal verse from First Choice’s 1974 R&B cut “Let Him Go,” “Reasons” shows Akshin performing layers of keyboards, guitars, and saxophone alongside the singer’s phrases and a crisp rhythm track. Akshin’s musicianship is exceptional, showing his skill and ear for melody without any unnecessary flashiness. The result is uplifting and celebratory – a memorable but chilled song that’s ready to wipe away any downcast vibes.
