Hi, my name is Jake and welcome to my review of Luke Christopher's debut album "TMRWFRVR".
Before this video starts I just wanted to address something.
This is my very first video on this channel.
Please excuse me if i'm doing something wrong, it'll get only better in the future.
Luke Christopher is 24 years old.
He is a singer, rapper, songwriter and produces his own stuff.
I'd say he's pretty much in the R'n'B and Pop Rap genre with artists like Drake, Big Sean or John Legend.
I'd refer to him as a SoundCloud rapper.
I personally first got into his music in 2015.
Back then he released 2 EP's called "TMRW" and "YSTRDY".
He also has so much good stuff on his SoundCloud page.
He even managed to get into the German Charts with his single "Lot to Learn".
He is definitely underrated.
Luke has got so much potential.
Like I said, "TMRWFRVR" is his debut album.
It has 15 tracks on it with a length of 45 minutes.
At first I was sure he's gonna drop an amazing project.
But I have to say that I'm kinda disappointed in this project.
The album sounds mostly like a ripoff from other popular artists.
It just sounds way too commercial in my opinion.
There is no doubt that he did that on purpose.
I'll give you guys a few examples:
On the track "Higher" it straight up sounds like a track off Drake's "Views" or "More Life".
"Give Me Your Pain" could've easily been on G-Eazy's or Macklemore's project with an feature of Sam Smith or Justin Bieber.
That's really sad because in my opinion Luke Christopher has been one of the most polarizing artists in Rap in a very long time
Don't get me wrong - the tracks don't sound that bad, it's for the most part well produced and also has an outstanding vocal performance sometimes.
The problem is that I really don't wanna hear these kinds of sounds from him.
It has way too many pop elements, it should've had way more rap elements.
They exist very rarely on this album, which is sad, because Luke's flow is simply incredible.
Let's talk about my most and least favorite tracks:
My favorite tracks are "Waterfalls", "Can't Sleep", "Selfless", "Jameson" and "Lot to Learn".
These tracks remind me of the style fans were used to before the release of this album.
The worst track on this album has to be "Complicated".
The beat sounds like it was meant to be put on T-Pain's 2011 project "rEVOLVEr" or Chris Brown's "Graffiti".
It's just weird.
I'm kinda upset because Luke Christopher has so much to offer.
I kinda wished that he had more rap tracks on it.
I also wish that he would stop sounding like other artists because he really doesn't need to be like that to get recognized by the Billboard Hot 100.
I'm feeling a 6/10 on this record.
It is really nothing special, but it could've been that.
That's my review of his new album.
I hope my first video wasn't that bad.
I am sorry if it was, though.
See you later in my next video! Bye!
