Music weaves itself into every aspect of New Orleans life. There’s really something to be seen here with E.M. Watson.
“Show Me Why” is a mesmerizing and really well done. Not just the music on this track but the video as well! Some artists lay their emotions on a track and that’s OK. But the ones that have the ability to tell a story with visuals behind a great video… well, that’s something different all together. It’s a good thing! The late, great Biggie Smalls was an illustrator that used words to paint extraordinary stories that could be visualized with ease. A man who knew the importance of details, his raps were like short stories, or better yet, mini movies. Many artists have claimed that their album is like a movie, but only some actually go out and make them into cinematic experiences. E.M. Watson has done just that with “Show Me Why”
E.M. Watson is a singer/songwriter and a prolific actor, dancer and fashion connoisseur, hailing from New Orleans. What is immediately striking is the emotional power of E.M. Watsons voice which, combining with his excellent songwriting and exquisite production, makes for captivating listening.
Overall, this is an absolute artistic jewel of a track from start to finish. The quality of the songwriting, both musically and, particularly, lyrically is of the highest calibre and you can tell the whole production has been a labor of love. If artists continue to treat the music like movies don’t be surprised when Netflix or Showtime replaces YouTube as the central hub to watch videos from your favorite rapper. It could happen, don’t believe me just watch. We’ve posted the music video above to see for yourself.
