People surely don’t see the work that it takes to create a scrap of music, let alone a full song like this one. With distinct hip-hop-esque beats utilized in the best intent possible, you could never go wrong with “Downslide”. Think of this as a hype man, a motivator in audio form, after a moment of doubt.
Hailing from North Carolina, Dr. Stan took his time perfecting his work, specifically in his home studio ‘Staniel Studios’. As a matter of fact, this single is only his second major release, and with an arrangement made with utmost finesse, we’re rooting and hoping that the world would dig his tunes.
Speaking of which, every component comes together nicely – no clashing, nothing overshines another. The bassline and the brass adds a nostalgic feel, in terms of early 2000s video game soundtracks particularly. Plus, that classic hip-hop charm is hard not to get addicted to.
It all boils down to the intent and the emotion present much deeper than the surface level of the sound and the words. With each verse, anyone could just feel that grit, that power motivating him to push on, which will hopefully get passed on to the listeners, inspiring them to do the same.
