Review: Aries Marquis – “Experience”(Album)

Aries Marquis takes listeners on an otherworldly “Experience” with his immaculately crafted R & B opus. The Louisiana based singer pulls out all stops & serves up a sizzling 7 track set to showcase his limitless creativity. “Dove Across The Ocean” kicks the action into gear with an ethereal arrangement and stunning vocals to match. “Nikki” follows that up with gospel-infused rhythms that stir the soul before “Daydream” transports the audience to a plateau of blissful tranquility.

Aries obviously loves to keep the listeners on pins & needles. An example of this is “Phases” which builds up tension by withholding the beat until it’s finally released in a dramatic wave of emotion. “Ghost” then filters through with enough mainstream appeal to warrant instant radio play while “A Part Of Me”(Revisited)and “Wanted” highlight the artist’s intense passion & vulnerability. The Baton Rouge balladeer has what it takes to achieve longevity in the industry. Aries Marquis will be making great music for many years to come.
