The immediate feeling I got from Broken Quote was a darker, more sensual sound that reminded me of The Weekend’s “Wicked Games”. I like the flow of the backing track but the vocals were too wispy and blended too much. They need to have some sort of support under them. You need even more support to sing softer and most people make the mistake of not supporting it enough and that’s what’s happening with Broken Quote. I feel like if he just focused a little more on the support 90% of his problems would vanish. He’s got an amazing stage name and great instrumentals; I can see him going far if he cleans up the vocals a bit more.
