FEATURED TRACK
To get a feel for Carlisio Keys’ original music, we had a look at one of his most popular tracks on Spotify, ‘Rotation’.

The steady beat merges with the melodic guitar riff and foundational bass to provide the perfect platform for the vocal. The stylistically effected vocal color seamlessly synchronizes with the upbeat vibe of the instrumentation. The contrast between the sung hook and the rap forms just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this single is captivating from start to finish.
A partial breakdown section, check out 1:01 to 1:17, allows the atmospheric instrumentation to take a prominent position in the mix, adding to the immersive quality of the soundscape. The systematic layering of multiple vocal elements, particularly for the chorus, adds depth to the overall sound without detracting from the lyrical prominence.
By the time ‘Rotation’ draws to a close, you’ll find yourself caught up in the hypnotic vibe, humming along with the catchy hook, and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
