Broshé’s first album is a seven-track party where music from Florida’s wide variety of cultures comes to play with the artist’s own blend of musical styles.
It is called, appropriately, “The Party.”
The musical stylings from the opening song, “Welcome to the Party,” to “After the Party” at the end reflect the club and party scene in the city where he grew up, Miami, and the islands where he was born, St. Vincent, in the string of islands south of Puerto Rico that form the boundary between the Caribbean and the Atlantic.
“‘Turks and Caicos,’ the second song, brings in the party feeling, you know, a more Caribbean style and feel, it gives a dancehall bit of emotion,” he said, “and it carries on that tradition until the fifth song “One for Me,’ which switches from the Caribbean form to more of an urban and contemporary pop.”
Broshé (pronounced BRO-shay) drew his early musical inspiration from artists such as Michael Jackson, Drake, Prince, Jay Z, and Kanye West, among others.
His family moved him to Miami at age 4, and growing up in Miami gave him his sense of party and his feel for club culture, Caribbean, Spanish, Afro-pop, urban and contemporary. The defining feature of this mix of cultures, its “foundation,” he has said, is “dancing and having fun.”
Between “Turks” and “One for Me” is “Love Ya Down” and “Dreams.” “Love Ya” opens with a fanfare of horns, transitions into a brief jazzy interlude and then hits its island party form.
He said “Turks and Caicos” and “Love Ya Down” are the “Caribbean songs, you know, the actual dancehall Afro-pop.”
“And then ‘Dreams’ is like the borderline middle, the transition of Afro-pop to urban pop, to contemporary pop.”
“Dreams” and “One for Me,” the fifth song, are Broshés two favorites, but “One” is most favored because “it’s different, and I like that.”
“I like the sound of ‘One for Me’ because it's very calming,” he said. It has what he calls a “highly poppy” feeling. It is also where the album starts winding down to the end of the party, in another appropriately named song, “After the Party.”
“One” already has a video and he is working on videos for “Turks” and “Dreams.”
“I'm gonna make it a little bit like a mini-movie type of vibe,” he said.
The urban, contemporary pop sound of “One for Me” and “Sexy” is what he is aiming for in the immediate future.
“That definitely is the style that I'm looking toward,” he said.
He will release two more singles in the next few weeks, and he expects his next album to be ready to drop in the fall or winter. It will have the same title as the final song on his current album, “After the Party,” and will pick up on the emotional themes that come with the end of a really good party.
Despite the transition in theme, he said it will be “completely different.
“It’s going to be more R&B, but a darker sound. I feel like the next album for sure is going to be deeper, with a lot more detail, a lot more work, and it's going to be less rushed, and it's going to have a very strong feeling.”
