New Music Roundup: Ballad [REBLOG]
Ballad, “Give It All”
When I pressed play on Ballad’s “Give It All” single, I instantly did a double-take. Why? Because I honestly thought that Lloyd was a featured guest. But that wasn’t the case; it was Ballad, all himself. Still, this could be a good or bad thing. Good because it shows his vocal abilities and alterations that add more substance and style to the track, but bad because people will make comparisons as we often do (and I just did). Still, there is a high level of appreciation for songs that still hold the true essence of R&B without implementing electro/EDM sounds so, Ballad, you get three thumbs up for this one. — Erin Ashley Simon
