Yellow Shoots is Greg Matthews of Philadelphia, a singer and
producer, transplanted to Brooklyn and becoming a solo artist.
While many producers/remixers have more of a base in
dance or hip hop, Yellow Shoots has more of an emphasis on R&B. Often
fairly smooth, that increases the jarring effect the music has at times when it
goes crude. I found this to be especially true on "More Alive", when
the lyrics and the sounds felt at odds with each other.
There were some mixes I liked on the Soundcloud link
while I was listening, but they then faded from memory. The music seems to lack
hooks, which could be a byproduct of song selection.
As it was, the song that was most memorable for me
was the one that felt wrong.
