“My Time” is a song by “Bam” that sounds very effective as the title implies; The music and melody come with a certain brilliance that gently entices you as the story and performance progresses.
The track is incredibly creative and flawlessly crafted to a great professional level. There’s a smoothness to it all, these dreamlike, occasionally reverberating synths and samples. There’s also an overwhelming delicacy that makes you feel like sitting still is the best way to get it – unwilling to disturb the peace or break anything with erratic human behavior. The music has a joyful order and gentle sense of movement that carries your consciousness as the whole thing progresses.
At one point the beat fades away, and the riffs, the atmosphere that pours over you, are exhilarating. It has the effect of making you feel completely at one with your present moment. Selected notes combine to give something of a magical quality not often found in ambient music – this follows a particular beat or melody, this collection of notes. There is a single hook, which is unusual and beautiful to listen to. “My Time” is definitely one to watch out for.
The structure of the track is unique and interesting to see. The melodic hook comes with the familiar vocal influence of modern hip-hop, however, it’s used here in an unusual way and the melody comes across as a bit different to the weight of the surrounding parts. This artist certainly offers something fresh and true to their own preferences and their own sense of style and personality.
Not one to hold back, the honesty and openness of the lyrics is admirable, unfiltered – an outpouring of reflective thoughts and life experiences and lessons learned. This is a very familiar concept of an artist’s struggle to express and be heard and understood, but outside the concept; Everything is full of privacy. Bam’s own perspective and his approach to this journey is unfamiliar—it’s fresh, it’s bold, and it speaks an unquestionable truth that’s likely to connect with any empathetic listener and heartfelt, authentic hip-hop fan. Bam talks about rap battles, inner strength and drive to push through. The detail is immense and makes this a very unique series of storytelling.
