Pay Attention 2: Karen Civil
Listening to 'Sinners' is an almost physical experience. Rod Wave manages to weave with his voice, powerful and rich in nuances, and with the enveloping sounds a real atmosphere that captures you from the first notes. When he then switches to rap, his interpretation is so intense and heartfelt that it completely magnetizes you into the narration, taking you and dragging you into the song without you being able to resist. It's like being sucked into a vortex of emotions, an excellent representation of the depth and grip that this artist knows how to exercise.
