Section Z Records is taking its final bow with the release of FWLR’s new EP “Outsider”. The Canadian musician was inspired by fellow Section Z recording artists Savant, BT, Aphex Twin and Knife Party and is said to have recorded his music in a studio located in the middle of the woods. This decision gave him the chance to explore the kind of electronic music he wanted to present to the world. Today, I’m going to introduce you to the amazing music of FWLR, and we’re going to hear what makes his new release as unique as he is.

The first track “Boom” lives up to its name. The roaring musical and vocal intro to this track introduces us to the awesome mixture of rap and techno. We’re all familiar with the well-known expression “on fleek”. Well, think about that when listening to the track “Fleek on Fleek”, a musical take on the popular saying. “Fleek on Fleek” is a rap and synth pop combination that incorporates sound effects and vocals in this unique track. We now come to the laid back track “Warrior”. The song starts off a little softer than the previous tracks and later leads into rapid fire and energetic hit track.

“Bionic Love” has a psychedelic and out of this world sound. This track has a dreamy and quiet intro and later leads into an energetic and futuristic dance track. Last but not least, we pay a visit to the mysterious “Man on the Moon”. This beautifully soothing melody is hypnotic and one of the most stunning tracks on this EP.

FWLR and his EP are destined for greatness. “Outsider” is an EP that is perfect for any and all occasion and is one that will be the perfect send off for Section Z Records. “Outsider” has an amazing collection of songs and each of them are perfect to dance to. From the mysterious to the lively and fun, every song on this EP is going to thrill you and send you to the dance floor. I definitely want to hear more of FWLR’s music in the near future.

I love to write and have been doing so since the age of eight. Fictional stories have always been a favorite of mine, because it gives me a chance to be creative and to express myself in a multitude of ways. On more than one occasion, a song proved to be the inspiration to several stories I have written. Believe it or not, some of those songs were on soundtracks! That’s mostly what I listen to, aside from hits from the 1950’s up to the 1980’s. I’ve learned that anything can be the inspiration to a story, even a poster from the 1990’s or a DVD cover.

I’ve lived in Upper Marlboro all of my life and spent much of my childhood watching cartoons of all kinds, and listening to my older sister’s cassette tapes. Growing up, I listened to everything Jackson related, Paula Abdul, Elton John, and even the controversial group Milli Vanilli. As a teenager, I continued to listen to old-school hits and that was pretty much all I liked, aside from listening to all of Michael Jackson’s music. To this day, I still love old-school hits. That hasn’t changed.

I own a variety of CDs from artists such as Styx, The BeeGees, Michael Jackson, Queen, The Yellow Submarine Soundtrack, and many others. When a soundtrack comes out, there will always be one specific song from that album that I’ll love. It never fails.

I’ve graduated from Bowie State University in December 2013 with a B.A. degree in English.
