Far Rockaway, Queens-based R&B artist Jaz Vernon brings a smooth, modern touch to his latest single, “Pink Suede.” The song fuses modern R&B with some hip-hop elements to create a casual vibe that centers on intimacy, attraction and enjoying a quiet moment with a special person.
The track begins softly, gradually increasing tempo, before reaching a deep groove. Basslines are kept clean to provide a solid foundation for the instrumental, and Auto-Tune textures are softly blurred to give a glossy finish to the overall production. A subtle rap influence is also playing behind the R&B sound, adding a modern-day flair that doesn’t detract from the laid-back style of the song.
One of the best features of the song is Vernon’s vocals. His voice floats elegantly atop the rhythm, lending the song a velvety sound that is appropriate for the romantic atmosphere. Delivery is relaxed and not forced and the vocals melt into the instrumental. The hook-driven structure also allows for an easy reinstatement of the song as the steady rhythm does most of the work in holding the listener.
“Pink Suede” is a love scene set at night, where the romance lies in the unspoken whispers, the soft romantic lighting, and the unspoken intimate feelings. The title itself evokes softness and luxury, adding a unique identity to the song, fitting for its polished sound.
Jaz Vernon, with this release, achieves a balance between classic R&B warmth and modern production. “Pink Suede” is a polished, relaxed track for those who enjoy a more melodic style with a solid groove and downbeat musical vibe.
