Realizing the inestimably great power of music to influence change, raise awareness, and champion truth, international American artist Darrell Kelley has harnessed this power and seems like the only one willing to ask those hard questions, packaged nicely over some alluring rhythms and melodies to capture the most-of-the-times daunting reality of a tumultuous world as the one we’ve been caught up in. This is the case with his latest release, dubbed “Drones,” which delves deep into an imperative concern brought about by the mysterious drones flying around, their mission still unknown, unresolved, or outright hidden from the people.
We can all agree that these mysterious drones have raised security concerns, with so many cases of countries spying on each other on the rise. And you know, with these concerns, tensions are rising, accusations are flying…, and all at the risk of war. With “Drones,” Kelley is amplifying this issue and profoundly asking for answers that have remained mysterious ever since these things started happening.
With great power comes great responsibility, and this is well encapsulated in Darrell Kelley’s artistry. “Drones” has an alluringly beautiful blend of contemporary beats that stretch the limits of pop and hip-hop, and to some extent, alternative R&B.
The intro is unique as Kelley vocalizes and takes a conversational tone that is subtle and slinking in the background, providing a steady foundation that morphs into the vibrant beats that provide an attractive background for his sing-song fluidity, immediately wrapping a listener in this infectious cadence that makes the song virtually unforgettable.
“Drones” is a challenge, an encouragement even for us to ask those really hard questions because, as we are all aware, it is in not knowing that kills someone, and our lives are at stake here if it turns out that, you know, the aliens are actually back!
A catchy, infectious, energetic, and singable anthem with a meaningful theme, “Drones” is now ripe for consumption.
