Are you ready to take your first trip of the summer? Reggie Becton takes us all to Gotham City for his latest EP, SadBoy Vol. 1, an audible illustration of the good, the bad and the ugly that lies within ourselves and those we lust after as we search for love, purpose and much more. Inspired by iconic cinematic features like Kill Bill and The Dark Knight, the PG County native and his collection of eclectic collaborators blend R&B, Soul, Funk and Rock into a trap swing soundscape that allows him to reach new heights as a storyteller.
Reggie Becton’s latest release breaks new ground sonically and through narrative. SadBoy Vol. 1 is not a collection of generic love songs. Rather, he assembled eight rhythmic diary entries that explore the depths of masculinity, communication, dependency, ego and intimacy. The end result of this emotionally taxing endeavor is a safe haven for an artist looking to lay their heart on the line for the sake of artistic expression.
Beyond its sonic aspirations and storytelling prowess, SadBoy Vol. 1 creates excitement because it draws inspiration from the aforementioned Kill Bill and The Dark Knight trilogies. Adding “Vol. 1” to the title leads listeners to believe that this could be the first in a trilogy. Until more is revealed regarding Reggie Becton’s future endeavors, check out SadBoy Vol. 1 below.
