ULTRAVIOLET - Will Cherry

Written by: muse

Last month Cleveland, Ohio artist Will Cherry released his latest project ULTRAVIOLET. This artist uses his 10-track album to demand your ears a listen to the variety of sides he has to show. Will Cherry refuses to give you a track that has a dull moment; His tracks work to consistently show you beat switches, different melodies, and creative pockets. The self produced piece of art is also one to be noted for. “All That” admires early Travis Scott vibes that forces crowds to jump into moshpit mode. The ending bridge was a beautiful segway into the nostalgic sample of nickelodeon's All That theme song. “Hold Me Down” was a textbook example of how to bring lyrics and cadence to the table when it comes to rapping.

“Wants + Needs” easily displays the potential thought and processes it took to select different flows; challenging different pockets of the beat in effort to display his talent. Cherry’s delivery shines just as much as the production. If you are the type of listener that looks for boom-bap hard hitting verses,“Junior” is perfect for you. “Worst of Me” oozes flashing lights, borderline edm essentials. Lyricially, this track is abstract, while at the same time specific enough, allowing his words to paint vividly.

The lofi production of “Southside” has a deep and dark aroma with pungent hints of r&b. The three beats switches are each beautiful and can truly stand on their own. Last year, Will Cherry released a deluxe version of his 2020 project BURGUNDY.
