It’s great to hear and see how much Drake and The Weeknd have inspired the next generation of music.
We do not cross paths with many aspiring singer-songwriters from Jamaica, Queens, who get to present their work through a major record label like Warner Records. So, when I saw Nobu Woods‘’ biography and picture in a pitch email, I felt compelled to review it. As a woman who grew up in a city that didn’t have much happening for the artsy kids when I was growing up, I wanted to hear how a fellow resident of Queens might stand out in a highly competitive music industry. Upon the first listen, I couldn’t help but think of Canada’s finest superstar artists, Drake, The Weeknd and PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Nobu Woods has implemented that atmospheric R&B that Canada has become so famous for, even borrowing the style of rapping Drake is known for (See ‘5AMSOMEWHERE’). In his debut release, Nobu Woods notably sings about spending quality time (‘SJW’) and wanting to use someone for the moment (‘Fault’). Check out the nine-track project below to see which tracks you connect with the most and the songs you would add to your mood-centric playlists.
