Fast-rising Afro-fusion musician and passionate storyteller Tuff King is back on the scene with a very emotional new tune named “Treacherous Cadet”.
This thoughtful melody is timely as listeners are looking for real stories about loyalty. In the world we live in today, friendships are regularly challenged and many experience backstabbing from their closest friends. So the singer is talking about his own experience of a valued ally betraying you. This idea in particular strikes a very familiar chord with anyone who has survived a treacherous friendship.
The producer lays down a very pleasant mid-tempo groove with delicate acoustic guitar chords and consistent drum beats. He also uses clean shaker loops that roll below the main theme nicely to keep the pace interesting. Still, the beat is laid out very spacious to allow the vocal delivery to effortlessly steer the listener.
Tuff King races around the track with his usual warm delivery and massive emotional presence. And he rides the smooth rhythm with great confidence, allowing his voice to float lightly over the delicate chords. Therefore, he has a really reassuring, relaxing vocal timbre for the whole song.
The lyricism of the record is extremely focused on struggling through fake love and discovering inner strength after being fooled. He sings about a close acquaintance who pretended to be a soldier but was a spy. The simplicity and directness of his words make the depth of his message immediately relatable to anyone living through challenging times.
The laid-back, Afro-fusion music is in sync with his emotional words, and this record works. The pieces blend together well to give you very satisfying music that keeps you entirely peaceful. So the last track is a fantastic reflection track that leaves a powerful impact.
