Maleek Berry released a new mix-tape on the 1st of August. Berry named the project ‘Isolation Room‘, and it is available to stream on all platforms.
‘Isolation Room’ is seven tracks long, and its sole feature is Tiwa Savage on ‘Balance‘. The EP flows with the afro-beat sound, and smooth vocals, that characterise Maleek Berry’s music. It is the artist’s first release of 2020.
‘Isolation Room’ kicks off with the toe-tapping ‘Far Away‘. The opening track reminds listeners of Berry’s vocal range, whilst implementing a catchy hook and effortless flow. The project’s headline track is ‘Balance‘, the aforementioned collaboration with Tiwa Savage. A tangy string sound foils a natural chemistry between the two artists, to create a triumphant afro-beat experience.
The project signs off with the relaxing ‘Konnect‘ and the smooth ‘One Night‘.The latter track includes a velvet melody fortified by the presence of a saxophone. Maleek Berry produced the instrumentals for six of the seven tracks, which demonstrates his talent and versatility as an artist.
Berry took to Instagram to describe his excitement at the new release. He captioned a snippet of the tape with: ‘Thank you to all my fans for being patient! I love you!‘. He signed off the upload with a teaser. ‘This is NOT the album by the way‘, Berry wrote, ‘we still got that coming soon’.
A 25 minute visualiser accompanied the release. The clip incorporates deep purple colours and a slow moving animation, which alludes to the intimate experience that ‘Isolation Tapes‘ provides fans.
Maleek Berry’s suave sound infuses throughout ‘Isolation Room‘, and brings the project together. Berry’s musical talent is on full display, and will excite fans after the artist’s album teaser promised that the mix-tape is just the beginning.
