Band Review: Louy Fierce


While it would be easy to categorize Louy Fierce as rap/hip hop, his sound is not exclusively that. Many songs give attention to melody and musical elements, though there is usually at least one rap segment.

The bio information indicates that Fierce started playing multiple instruments early, and that is easily believable, with a solid delivery of musical elements.

That makes it more frustrating that the lyrics are so often irritating. Frequent references to weed and his own sense of greatness are common rap elements, but grating. (I find them grating in other artists too, but obviously there is an audience for it.)

With the musical skill and talent shown, it feels like the lyrics are worth working on. A period of focus on great writers, perhaps even some attempts to set poetry to music, might be a valuable growth experience.
