Tumzbeatz has constructed a versatile discography for herself. As a producer, she blurs the lines between genres, creating soundscapes where her artists thrive. Her bag is steep and within it houses a myriad of vibes that are honed from various sonic influences and speaks to her range as a composer. She joins forces with Deej Panther for “Jawo”, elevating the singer’s performance with her ingenious and immersive production. The record has a mellow vibe, with a contagious bounce that pulsates through the room.
Multiple elements make up the multi-faceted production on “Jawo.” The listener is ushered into the song, with a mesmerizing reverb that is intended to give a subtle bounce. Although the 808s are the song’s most dominant sound, “Jawo” is still propped up by the kicks that are laced in when the chorus comes into play. The verses end with a short but dynamic drum arrangement, that segues into a sequence in the chorus that has some strings incorporated. Tumzbeatz fuses these elements into an uptempo 100BPM song that will surely trigger headbops.
It’s definitely one for a mellow houseparty. The producer has upheld the identity of a multi-dimensional composer for herself. With music that can thrive in differing spaces, the production on “Jawo” does well to propagate her reach to various playlists. Tumzbeatz creates a bounce that’s calm, but gallops to an infectious rhythm and this is definitely a bop for the cool kids. Deej Panther delivers a convincing performance that adds more layers to the depth on “Jawo.”
Deej Panther utilizes the bounce as a compass for mapping patterns through the production. His vocal performance is distinct and borders on swooning, rather than singing. He delivers his lines in a fashion akin to a rapper, with melodic rapping cadences. Deej Panther is daring on “Jawo” and complements Tumzbeats production nicely.
The pair form a good synergy on this record. Tumzbeatz sets the tone for Deej Panther to express hinself in the most profound way possible, making “Jawo” the calm banger it is. With more releases like this, their influence in the industry will only keep on growing.
