SIERGIO "BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE" ALBUM REVIEW

R&B is thriving. And if you need any convincing, check out, Before It’s Too Late by Siergio. The album — which released April 29th, following the singles “Take You Out,” and “Complicated.” Before It’s Too Late has definitely entered the chat when it comes to the conversation regarding “Male R&B” and is arguably among the R&B Albums of The Year.

Moments of nostalgia comes with elements of 90s / early 00s R&B, Its very clear that Siergio has studied well and applied the necessary elements to creating this project and does it in a way that demands its seat at the table.

While streaming platforms are lined with “Go To Artists” taking up the homepages, “Before It’s Too Late” is a project that deserves a spot in the top spots. Whenever an album can bring you back to that classic R&B feeling and feel the void of what many have said to be missing from R&B, take notice. It is hard to pick stand outs when the project is cohesive as a whole and any selection can be stand outs and favorites can change often.

Highlighted tracks (according to Apple Music), — since released, has been “Energy.” “Complicated” “Xtc,” and “Take You Out.” Initial feedback seems to lean to “Closer,” and “Lie To Me,” and for this review, “Eden,” “Leave Him,” and “Clothes On,” come to mind, but looking at the tracklisting, its hard to leave any track out including “You,” “Switching Up”… etc.

As the albums opening track “Energy,” really sets the tone of the journey you are about to take — “Don’t worry baby, I’m giving you the energy you need. Baby I’m gonna take you there with me,” which, as a listener applies to the themes of a relationship but also the state of R&B. “Complicated,” creates the journey of the back and forth, tug of war of relationships struggles, ultimately showcasing the theme of pleading for love and showing how things would be better. By the albums end “Lie To Me,” displays ‘all cards on the table’, finale of getting through and obtaining a love, no matter what could be standing in the way, pure R&B perfection.

“Before Its Too Late” is available now, streaming and on sale at siergiowashere.con
