Preston Pierce is a dynamic singer, songwriter, producer and recording artist hailing from Queensland, Australia. He has manifested his eclectic range of music influences from rock to hip-hop to soul, folk and many more genres, into a substantial catalog of music which not only pushes the envelope musically, but delves into a variety of introspective and personal subject matters.
Today, we’re spotlighting a track of his titled “Miss You Mama”, which is an endearing tribute to his mom delivered in a style of hip-hop which conjures up a sense of nostalgia when you hear it as the tone of the instrumentation and Pierce’s tight, concise rap flow harken to the 90’s era of hip-hop when lyricism took priority as the standard an artist was judged on. This song possesses a strong Souls of Mischief/ Guru-Jazzmatazz / Tribe Called Quest mystique.
While the multi-fusion sound of “Miss You Mama” captures you with a masterful blend of hip-hop, R&B and jazz elements, the vocal performance by Pierce is the true show stopper as he crafts a barrage of poignant bars and utilizes interesting wordplay to vividly convey to the listener how much his mother meant to him and her role in making him who he is today.
“Miss You Mama” is an outstanding song and production and foremost, you can hear the true sentiment and authenticity ringing out in Pierce’s rap flow as he pays homage to his mom!
