I tend to be rather old-fashioned in my music tastes. I'm unlikely to enjoy most songs written this century (with a few notable exceptions when composed and/or performed by older artists and groups, who were brought up to know what music was, as opposed to a noise!). As for alleged rap "music", I refuse to dignify it with the label "music" at all.
However, there are always exceptions to every rule, and I came across one this week. Shaboozey has been writing and performing songs since 2014, when he was only 19 years old. His music "combines hip-hop, country, rock, and Americana", and he appears to carry off the blend with aplomb.
The track I listened to is called simply "Good News". The lyrics may be found here, if you need them. Give it a listen, and see what you think.
You'll find more of his music at his YouTube channel. I plan to listen to more of it, to see how his undoubted talent develops. This young man may have a serious musical future.
