Laid back and lackadaisical, ET Reed brings a distinctive blend of old-school boom bap production styles with a processing and melodic tinge that’s quite markedly part of the new school. “Directions” sees the Windham based emerging talent spit bars over topics that fundamentally relate to growth and persevering. Ever so often you find yourself in a spark of motivation, wanting to move forward in life with a gusto and drive that’s come to you naturally. But, for some reason or the other, you find yourself in company that feels stagnant and restrictive. “Directions” is an empowering track as it speaks to that conflict, wanting to grow with people who seem reluctant to change and when cutting it off might be the best path forward.
Already on her journey, Reed’s last release Ridiculous that was put out a month ago has hit 4,000 streams to date. She’s got a character and sound that’s unique and a meaning behind it that’s universal.
