Hip-Hop/Review Guess Pre - Clarity

Gregory Stanton, aka Guess Pre, is a genre-defying, multifaceted artist. He is one of the most endearing and sought-after Midwest MCs. Creation is his life. Guess can freestyle, rap battle, front live rock bands, paint murals, and more. Guess has done it all. And he does it well. Guess Pre is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind artist. The edgy growl from his punk/metal days and intricate rhymes put a twist on life and melody.

The sonically varied and intensely intimate album Guess Pre's “Clarity” transports listeners on a musical and emotional journey. Combining evocative melodies, reflective narratives, and genre-bending production, this project showcases the artist's sobriety-shaped development, self-discovery, and newly discovered clarity.

Guess Pre demonstrates a great capacity to convey emotion through music, from the reflective reflections of "Aardvark" to the ethereal beauty of the title tune “Clarity.” Every song creates a sound portrait of the highs and lows of life, providing a window into the artist's inner world. With its EDM components, "Earlie Goodbye," a notable concluding piece, showcases Guess Pre's genre-fluid style and his desire to do things outside of the box.

The album's distinctive sound is a result of a fusion of regional elements, which were recorded in La Crosse, Wisconsin, then mastered by Lia Kahn in Denver, Colorado. Guess Pre's careful composing, elaborate orchestration, and moving delivery all demonstrate his commitment to his profession.

“Clarity” is more than simply an album; it's a representation of tenacity, creative development, and the search for purpose. Guess Pre's status as a varied and incredibly genuine musician is cemented by this effort, which features passionate poetry and dramatic songs. “Clarity” has plenty to offer everyone, regardless of whether you prefer upbeat tunes or somber reflection.
