"This is the first cohesive project of the genre", according to one
of the early reviews of the California songstress's debut EP. It's
actually a fitting description because Maryann has seamlessly blended
Urban and Electronic music in a way that will have fans arguing about
which genre she belongs to. The clever name she uses to describe her
sound, "Bedroomtrap", might be the only true way to describe what her
music does. Don't be fooled though, because it could easily play in the
club, on the radio or rattle your trunk. With this project Maryann and
producer Sbvce make a focused and concerted effort to show off the
unique, complexity of their sound. This project shows Maryann growing
as a writer and as a performer. She finds a way to tie the moon into
songs built from clever (not corny) catch phrases. The title and
concept are quite intriguing, it shows she and Sbvce have not yet
strayed from their love of Futuristic themes. Sbvce's production is as
varied as Maraynn's voices. The tracks range from mellow and moody
future R&B to Hip Hop infused Reggae, then there are club jams that
could double as radio hits. These are not your typical 808 driven
tracks, they have this undertone of funk which is usually missing in new
Electronic and Urban music. It seems like with this project the DIY
duo are quite in tune with sounds that are popular in the genres, giving
the surface listener just enough to be hooked. Below the surface they
are quietly pulling the listener into their world of Organic Urban Pop,
which is rare nowadays, especially of this caliber from a DIY artist.
It's also probably better for your health, knowing that your music is
coming directly, and entirely from these two people, grown in some sort
of "Bedroomtrap".
