Alright, so ya wanna know about this Destroy Lonely fella and which of his albums to start with, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, this young man’s got a whole bunch of stuff out there, and it ain’t always easy to figure out where to begin. I ain’t no fancy music critic or nothin’, just a regular person who likes what she likes, and I’ll tell ya what I think straight.
First off, they say this Destroy Lonely guy, his real name is somethin’ like Bobby somethin’, from Atlanta, is a rapper. Now, I ain’t listened to rap all my life, mind you, but this boy’s got somethin’ different. They say he put out this “If Looks Could Kill” album, that’s his real first studio album, they call it. Now, that one, that’s a good place to start, I reckon. It’s got a bunch of them catchy songs, you know, the ones that get stuck in your head.
Before that “If Looks Could Kill” thing, he had a bunch of other stuff, like mixtapes and EPs. They got names like “Sometimes U Lose”, “LORD”, “Darkhorse” and “Overseas”. Don’t ask me what all that means, I just listen to the music. These older ones, they’re a bit rough around the edges, ya know? Not as polished as that “If Looks Could Kill” album, but they got their own charm, you can see where he’s comin’ from. They say he’s got this “plugg” sound. Sounds like a leaky faucet to me, but hey, what do I know? It’s got that beat that makes ya wanna tap your feet, even if you don’t know what he’s saying half the time.
Now, after that “If Looks Could Kill”, he put out somethin’ called “A Great Chaos” and another one, “NO STYLIST“. Folks are sayin’ different things about these. Some like ’em, some don’t. I heard “A Great Chaos” is kinda…well, chaotic. Just like the name says, I guess. It ain’t as easy to listen to as that “If Looks Could Kill”, but if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different, somethin’ a little wild, then maybe give it a try. “NO STYLIST,” I ain’t heard too much about that one yet, still gotta get around to listenin’ to the whole thing.
- So, to make it simple for ya:
- Start with: If Looks Could Kill (that’s his first big one, real easy to get into).
- Then try: Some of them older mixtapes like “Darkhorse” or “Overseas” if ya wanna hear where he started.
- And if you’re feeling adventurous: Go for “A Great Chaos” or “NO STYLIST,” but be warned, they might not be for everyone.
They got this other album too, called “LOVE LASTS FOREVER“, folks online talk about it a lot. I listened to some of it, it’s got good beats. They say it’s got some real good songs on it, top five material, they say. But like I said, start with the first one, “If Looks Could Kill.” That’s the one that really made people take notice. It’s like when you’re bakin’ a cake, you gotta start with the basic ingredients, right? Then you can add all the fancy stuff later.
This Destroy Lonely kid, he’s got a lot of music out there, so don’t get overwhelmed. Just take it slow, listen to a few songs at a time. And if ya don’t like somethin’, that’s alright too. Music is like food, everyone’s got their own taste. But if you want a good place to start with this Destroy Lonely fella, “If Looks Could Kill” is the way to go. That’s what I think, anyways.
Remember, this music ain’t for everyone. It’s got that… that… well, I don’t even know what to call it, but it’s got a beat that makes the young folks go wild. Me? I just tap my feet a little and try to figure out what he’s sayin’. Sometimes it’s clear as day, sometimes it’s like he’s speakin’ another language. But hey, that’s part of the fun, ain’t it?
Now, go on and listen for yourself. Don’t just take my word for it. And don’t be afraid to explore. You might find somethin’ you really like, even if it sounds a little crazy at first. This Destroy Lonely, he’s something else, that’s for sure. And who knows, maybe he’ll grow on ya, just like he growed on me. Now, I’m gonna go make myself a cup of tea. All this talk about music is makin’ me tired.
