The up-tempo beat makes you wanna just dance alongвЂ¦and it transports you to a cliche scene with a person skipping through a field in the sun. вЂњCrystal ExpressвЂќ has a more enjoyable feel to it. вЂњPeace PrevailвЂќ can fall into the same category, only slightly more вЂmellowвЂ™ than others. The piano flows so smoothly and RauryвЂ™s auto tuned vocals which seem to be almost chilling in a way.

вЂњCPUвЂќ is a more electro-R&B track that presents a mellow mood you can just chill to. It doesnвЂ™t just include tracks that touch on societal issues, though. The track includes a catchy bass line but what I love the most is how Raury addresses an array of topics, from minorities getting shot to the obsessions with technology.ДЄll We Need, in my opinion, can be seen as a protest album. The one song off of the album that I feel got me the most into Raury was one of the singles that was released prior to the album titled вЂњForbidden KnowledgeвЂќ featuring Big K.R.I.T.

The artist goes into a truthful monologue halfway through the track that spews wholesome truth. вЂњRevolutionвЂќ reminds me of just that, the chanting of вЂњGo save this burning earthвЂќ continues as the rhythmic bongos play along to the artists powerful messages that not only shift to pollution but to hypocrisy. As the track comes to a close, Raury goes into a flow of rapping where he addresses how (unfortunately) money is a huge benefactor in a society to the point where it masks other needs. That build up soon dies down to include the vocals of Raury alongside crisp acoustics and the repetitive line/chorus, вЂњWho can save the world, my friend?/ IвЂ™m telling you all we need is love.вЂќ The perfect intro and a depiction of the overall message. The album starts off with the title track вЂњAll We NeedвЂќ, the quirky electronic build up will remind you of the THX sound effect heard at the beginning of several movies. This guy is more conscientious than any 19 year old I know.ДЄllow me to dive into the complex and powerful вЂњnew ageвЂќ rap/R&B youвЂ™ll find on All We Need. вЂњIвЂ™m never super-keen when people say, вЂIвЂ™m an artist here to save the world.вЂ™ But since I have these gifts to make music, IвЂ™m obligated to use them to cause some kind of shift in the minds of listeners, that will, hopefully, domino into people living better for themselves and everyone around them.вЂќ All I seem to hear anymore is lyrics about having sex or doing drugsвЂ¦it gets to be repetitive and annoying after a while. Not many artists embrace this mindset, especially in Rap music.

ItвЂ™s not cool to always be talking about: вЂOh, this week I fucked 14 girls and IвЂ™ve $50,000 in my back pocket.вЂ™ That shit is lame to me.вЂќ PC: BILLBOARD вЂњI remember when Chance tweeted: вЂ I canвЂ™t wait until itвЂ™s cool to be a good person again.вЂ™All of a sudden itвЂ™s strange that I love life, that I want to be loved. In an interview with The GuardianвЂs Harriet Gibsone, Raury talks about his вЂњhippyвЂќ-like philosophy and the message behind his music. You wouldnвЂ™t think a 19 year old would preach messages of loving the earth and loving eachother, but the Georgia-based musician sure does stick to the theme that matches the title of his debut record, All We Need. From The NeighbourhoodвЂ™s вЂњWarmвЂќ to the artistвЂ™s own вЂњDevilвЂ™s WhisperвЂќ, the 19 year old artist captivated me with complex melodies about the earth, society, love, and other topics that may coincide with various situations occurring in our society today. I had heard the name вЂRauryвЂ™ pop up in many different songs in the past year.
