\"ST_UndergroundEP_v1_final_hires\"<\/a>Over the last couple of months, we have been following pop new comer Stewart Taylor<\/strong><\/a> very closely. We\u2019ve seen his ups with songs like \u2018Recharge\u2019<\/strong>, we\u2019ve seen his downs with songs like \u2018Withdrawal\u2019<\/strong>. With each track, we got a glimpse into the man behind the great pop and R&B inspired sounds.\u00a0 Now, we get to see the next chapter in the life and times of Stewart Taylor<\/strong> with his latest EP entitled Underground<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the open-book style songwriting leading the charge, Taylor <\/strong>says of the record:<\/p>\n

“My new EP Underground<\/strong> is a taste of what Pop\/R&B music sounds like in the New York underground music scene. I\u2019ve spent the past year writing and recording the EP with up-and-coming NYC producers Drew of the Drew (Brayton Bowman)<\/strong> and Chris Leon (Justin Timberlake, Wiz Khalifa, Matthew Koma).<\/strong> They helped give my music a more urban edge, while still staying true to my pop roots. <\/em><\/p>\n

The record is a pretty accurate representation of where I\u2019m at in my life in terms of love, sex, heartbreak, and self-acceptance. I\u2019ve been through a lot in the past few years and overcome a lot of adversity, and my songwriting on the record definitely reflects that\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n

there is definitely a song for virtually every mood on this record. Are you feeling a little naughty? Pop on the very funky Prince<\/strong>-style \u2018Sex\/Weapon\u2019 <\/strong>you\u2019re bound to get a little freaky. Don\u2019t let the title scare you off. Some of the naughtier themed songs can be some of the greatest songs. This time around, \u2018Sex\/Weapon\u2019 <\/strong>has an electronic melody with a little bit of guitar takes a dirty little single into a dance floor banger. This one in particular doesn\u2019t get too sensual. It makes it clear that Stewart<\/strong> is so infatuated with this gent that his lover is able to use his body as collateral. I could honestly go on about his falsetto, but you got to know more about this EP!<\/p>\n

Are you feeling maybe a bit broken inside after a rough relationship? Check out the track entitled \u2018More.\u2019 <\/strong>This is one of the darker songs that Stewart<\/strong> has ever penned. Again, don\u2019t be frightened when the word dark is thrown around, because this is kind of a twist on the break up song. With a very heavier rock edge you have a track in which pushes more towards anger in feeling used and wanting more out of a relationship. Though, with a dark side, Stewart<\/strong> never loses his dance floor trademark. He is quite the dancer! This must be the \u201cNew York Underground sound\u201d that Stewart<\/strong> discussed\u2026<\/p>\n

It takes a lot nowadays to produce a complete, thought provoking record. Sometimes you turn on an album and it just falls flat on one emotion. Not when it comes to Stewart Taylor<\/strong>. Forget Taylor Swift<\/strong>! If you want yourself a complete EP that you will not skip a single track. Underground<\/strong> is the EP for you.<\/p>\n
