The Reason Enough
Traces EP
Friday 28th of May 2010
The Reason Enough is the alter-ego of London rapper Umran, who has offered up two unconventional and artist offerings.
Up first is 'My Dark Romance', which isn't so much a hip-hop track as poetry set over electro music. The lyrics are very enigmatic, but the delivery lacks the rhythm and impact of a rap song and the melody of a pop song.
'My Music Is Mocking Me' has a good beat and more appealing backing music, but otherwise sounds perhaps a little too much like 'Dark Romance'.
What is missing from these two tracks is another vocalist who can add something to contrast with the heavy lyricism of Umran's style. With a singer on board who could add a moment of melody to the melancholy, these songs would offer some killer edge.
