Coming out of Annapolis, MD, the latest single, ‘Fate,’ is the latest tapestry LTB weaves of the eternal dichotomy between destiny and choice, all while basking in a lush, cinematic soundscape showing the Annapolis based artist’s extraordinary vocal credit and songwriting prowess.Intriguing from the get go with it’s haunting spoken word intro “Fate” immediately engulfs you into the mists and mazes of mystery and they bring you with them on a wonderful journey into the unexplored.
LTB’s rich, velvety vocals glide effortlessly over the dynamic production, evoking a sense of quiet calmness and acceptance in the face of life’s predetermined paths.Through vivid imagery of serpents, doves, and enchantresses, LTB weaves a narrative that invites listeners to ponder the age-old question: When does the end of destiny bleed into the start of choice? Bluntly, even if he is resigned, he has a touch of curious introspection of self doubt and a cliff hanger that calls his assumptions squarely into question.
What really differentiates LTB’s “Fate,” though, is precisely this emotional complexity, combined with all of the studio’s cinematic stylings. Amidst the lush harmonies, dynamic instrumental touch, upbeat production of this song — one move that stands out most is LTB’s ability to seamlessly intermix his distinctive R&B pop sound with bits of emotional and musings thoughts. A plea for “trust your fate,” and one that resounds genuinely — the artist is preaching to his listeners, don’t mess with your fate / Don’t change what’s meant to be.
“Fate” is a nice unexpected hit in an often thrown together musical landscape where it seems many of the trends and themes don’t last long and only exist on the surface. Seeing LTB release this allows you to also see how the artistic inclination has progressed, and cement in your impression as one of the most innovative, and compelling voices in modern R&B with haunting melodies, cinematic production, and thought provoking concepts about the labyrinth of life, love, and formulas of fate that lead us to ultimately become something more.
