In his quest to do something groundbreaking, singer-songwriter ZRH dares to experiment with a Reggaeton beat pattern in one of his English songs, “Rendezvous.” No doubt, this is something mind-blowing that you’ve probably never heard before.
What Makes a Reggaeton Beat?
In case you’re not familiar, the Reggaeton beat pattern is all about that low-end pulse, the kick drum hits with a bouncy boom that makes it impossible not to sway your hips. Moreover, it’s what gives this genre its sexy vibe, too.
On “Rendezvous,” ZRH slows things way down but keeps all that rhythmic energy intact. The percussion contributes to its punchy feel, just at a more relaxed pace that’s perfect for swaying close with your special someone.
Lyrically speaking, it’s all about that crazy, head-over-heels kind of love. You know, when someone occupies your thoughts day and night because you’re completely obsessed with them.
Crossing Cultural Lines
Where things really get interesting is that ZRH sings in English over a Reggaeton beat pattern. Certainly, he’s breaking down cultural barriers and demonstrating you don’t need to speak Spanish to appreciate this catchy music style.
Coming from an electronic music background, it’s cool to see ZRH stretch into musical innovation while staying true to his melodic trademark. Indeed, when you find the right balance, I think everything you do tends to bring satisfaction.
Pour Something Dope and Tune In
Hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ZRH is pushing boundaries in all the right ways. So pour yourself something dope, turn up the volume, and prepare to play “Rendezvous” on repeat.
On a side note, if you like what you hear on this single, be sure to check out his debut 9-track album, ‘Shirtless.’ Fundamentally, this material offers quality songcraft and inventive spirit that are worth your attention.
