Rihanna - Work (Vandalized Cover)

this was when I went by Colombo Beats

dropping this song in 2014  was a defining moment for me, still very proud of this song and where it's got me to today.

Shout out to @iamhermusic for the original track which i loved so much that i had to do a flip of it

production, instrumentation, mixing and mastering by @hvdsonofficial
I admire the vision behind H.E.R of putting the music first by creating an alias which uses anonymity and eliminates the bias of first impression by not having the artist's face centred as the brand. Though this approach does have it's flaws. 

A lack of personability through the detachment of association with a person's identity (their face) and potentially a sense of hostility through the misinterpretation of the brand from listeners could arise. 
Hostility could come from a sense of duplicity as if the artist was hiding from the listener, potentially causing the listener to interpret the artist as another gimmick as it eliminates the onus of personal reliability between the consumer and the artist. 

This resonates with me both ways, as I believe that the music should always come first, but at the same time, with the accelerant of technology and social media, it seems that people don't have the time to sift through every bit of information, or in this case every song posted online; we, as creators and artists, have no choice but to play the game of business, to catch the attention of as many people as possible through branding aesthetic.

But it also should be said that there are still people out there who appreciate the music for what it is and are willing to put the effort into finding great music since they appreciate the effort put behind every song made.

So my goal for this year is to find that pocket of people to fit into the hvdson family - no matter how big or how small that it will end up being :)

But nothing great was ever built alone.

And that can only be possible through you guys helping me every step of the way by sharing this with as many people as possible - and who knows maybe we can get this track to @iamhermusic!!

So, let's play this game together <3
