“Nothin’ Near” is an undeniably sad and unsettling music that is bound to make you feel sad and experience several heartbreaking moments. The production, technically speaking, flirts skillfully with ambient, electronic, and hip-hop elements as well as other sub-genres of music, which ultimately leads to the production of a bittersweet kind of comfortable pop-rap.
The music allows every element flourish without having to sacrifice the instruments. Whether it’s the lightly-melodic synths or the stereo panning of the sizzling hi-hats, the producer’s work here frames and accentuates the curves of this song in ways that elevates the whole mix.
The lyrics celebrates the lost love that spuns from the sadness in which something between the two could have been shared, even if his past would ultimately lead the two to an almost alien distance.
The artist portrays a natural command of the hooks and confessionals, two key abilities, that gets better with practice. Over lonesome chords and a few distant strips of synth melodies, the rapper also discovers a swagger that matches the deep reserves of melancholy in his voice.
Nothin’ Near presents a simple, elegant construction, velvety feel, and a lonesome vocal hook that washes over the friendly chord of progression.
