\"Skin-EP\"This is not Jabril Power\u2019s first step into the music scene, however the release of his Skin <\/em>EP\u00a0is his first solo venture. Being one half of the duo Abandon Mall Arcade, Power has shown his skill in lyrical advances and unique usage of vocal tones. Breaking out on his own for this first solo EP, Power teamed up with fellow musician Quinn Cochran to produce a new, wavy sound vision. Opening the EP with a vulnerable and open recording explaining what Skin<\/em> is all about, Power lets his audience into this world filled with peaches, prayer beads and a vision of life being all worked out.<\/p>\n

Skin<\/em> is one of those rare pieces of music that flows seamlessly through each song to create a lyrical narrative and form a rhythmic tie between tracks; qualities that almost require you to listen start to finish. The mix of tropical themes in both \u201cWindow\u201d and \u201cYes (ft. Aura)\u201d combined with the slower\u00a0track \u201cClarity (ft.Elias Abid)\u201d build on the layers that evolve throughout the project.<\/p>\n

This inspiring peek into the nature and style of Power is truly compelling. Touching on the intimate side of self expression,\u00a0Powers departs from the more aggressive tone seen in the music he creates with Abandon Mall Arcade; it is an intriguing transition. Power hasn\u2019t revealed all that he is capable of yet, making this first solo EP is only the start of what is to come from this emerging artist.
