On “Dreamer,” Trippie Redd takes a sip from the bottle labeled “emo,” picks up a guitar, and throws caution to the wind.
Fuelled by guitar chords and a steady acoustic drum beat, Trippie lets his autotune-laced vocals soar. Lyrically, he tends to center around the age-old theme of unrequited love. “Already know I know I felt the pain, I shedded tears, let me go blindfold, and I can still see that you’re here,” he sings, a major stylistic departure from his expected sound. It’s unclear if the “Dreamer” vibe will be consistent throughout Pegasus, though it wouldn’t be surprising to see Redd gravitating further into that particular realm. He’s already promised that the Deluxe Edition would be a full-on “rock album,” which seems to indicate that it’s been piquing his creative interest. Check out his latest now, and look for Pegasus to arrive in the imminent future.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
Already know I know I felt the pain, I shedded tears
Let me go blindfold, and I can still see that you’re here
Phantom, drop the top, I’ll fix the mirror
I got hella racks, no racketeer
I just made like ten million this year
