Track by Track is our recurring series in which artists guide readers through each song on a release. Today, emerging R&B artist Skylar Simone reveals the inspirations behind each song on her new EP, Tremble.
Skylar Simone She has a voice that leaves people speechless. From her deep, layered register to her stratospheric falsetto, the rising R&B artist has a range comparable to that of Tori Kelly or Ariana Grande, which she employs masterfully on her new five-track EP, Tremble.
Simone teased the project by releasing the title track and a song called “Shut Up” ahead of time — the latter in particular capturing the warmth of the summer season. The EP is a bit more melancholy than songs like “Only Want You” and “Blame,” which propelled her to the top of the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in 2017 — but Simone has never sounded more at ease in her own voice.
After working as a singer since her teens, this EP marks the beginning of Simone's next chapter with a renewed sense of confidence. Listen Tremble below, and read on for his track-by-track analysis of the project.
