"Canorous Camisado"

“SR. Gent with his most recent release, Canorous Camisado LP. A fun, witty, and versatile 26-track album with many twists, turns, and likability factors that carry lyrical club themes that definitely adds to the energy of the content. With his first track “Aloha”, we have a subtle, pleasant, and well-put-together song with some great hooks that bring out the best of each element the track offers. Meanwhile, “Asocial” is a more upbeat club banger that puts an energy in the playing field that resonates with its predecessor, but all the more shows a more dynamic side to SR‘s execution in his signature songwriting and style. Now “Don’t Let Me Down” has by far one of the catchiest hooks I’ve heard in quite some time. With SR‘s sing-songy style during the verses, it perfectly parallels the chorus along with the production value. If there’s a radio #1 hit that comes from this album, this track holds the crown.”

"Gold"

“SR.GENT: “GOLD” – TRANSPORTING LISTENERS TO A THROWBACK DANCE PARTY! On his latest single , “Gold”, SR.Gent transports late ’80s and early ’90s R&B and pop into hiphop’s modern age. After a much anticipated release date, fans are finally met with classic sounds and familiar melodic structures that take them back to the R&B and Pop they fell in love with in the past. Technically innovative and sonically soothing to the soul, SR.Gent’s new single is a nostalgic project that just might serve as the foundation for a new era in crossover pop and hip-hop. “Gold” is a single taken off SR.Gent’s critically acclaimed album “Canorous Camisado”.” - - Staff, TunedLoud.com


"Canorous Camisado (Album Review)"

“SR.Gent: “Canorous Camisado” thrives on overarching lyrical themes and a cohesive flow. The first thing that strikes you when listening to “Canorous Camisado” is that SR.Gent is truly a multi-genre artist. From Pop to R&B and EDM to Hip-hop, each song has its own defined style on this album. That’s not to say it’s a mess of random, incongruous sounds. SR.Gent knew what he wanted this beast to be, and he went to great lengths to bring it to life. Whether it’s his voice, or his taste for off-kilter beats, SR.Gent just does things differently, and he may be divisive because of it.” - Rick Jamm

ESSEX TV & INTERVIEW

KB: Thanks for coming through SR.Gent. First things first, how would you describe your sound?..
I describe my sound as a blend of all that I’ve enjoyed. Meaning that fans will hear remanence of country, pop, rock, elm, and rap when listening to my catalog.

KB: And of course you have a new project coming out ’Sunshine Paradigm’ . Tell us about that and the process involved in creating it?
Creating Sunshine Paradigm was an amazingly good time. I recorded the songs over the course of a year and 2 months. This was done because for each song I got the instrumental and mix/master done by The Legion at a rate of a 1 month, because I am a platinum level member of their subscription service.

KB: What are some of the themes and concepts you included on this project?
The only theme for the project is that each song is perfect for dropping the top and riding on a sunny day. The vision I held in mind while creating it was one of hot days growing up in Tucson, Az.

KB: The song has since garnered quite a good reception on . What has the reception to “Sunshine Paradigm” been like on your end?
I have got great feedback from my peers and industry professionals who say that this project is going to change my life.

KB: Any particular bands or artists you took inspiration from?
I can’t name any one band or artist, but growing up living in different states, and spending 8 years in the army I was exposed to a wide range of music, and to this day listen to multiple genres.

KB: What are your hopes for the new single ‘Sunshine Paradigm’?
I am hoping that Get Loose is well received by the industry and the fans of the grammy award winning featured artist Constantine. This track will be the first single of my career.

KB: What can you tell us about your plans for the rest of 2019?
2019 is closing with a bang, as market and promote Get Loose leading to the release of Sunshine Paradigm on Feb 24, 2019.

KB: What message do you have for your fans out there?..
That love is the only way forward, regardless of the problem.
