New York singer Julius describes himself as a "symphonic musician", and while that may relate to a lot more than the nostalgia-inducing vocals he possesses, his cover of Omarion's "Post To Be" here is certainly brimming with sonic elegance. Quite unlike the original, the NYC artist decides to instill an orchestral nuance throughout, with his falsetto-laced vocals in the forefront and emphatic instrumentations beside. Shades of the original do emerge at times, as more contemporary R&B sneaks its way in, but, through the fusion of the two works, we're giving a flavorful listen overall. This is the first track taken from Julius' forthcoming EP, Re-Compositions, and if you're in New York City tonight, you can catch Julius opening for Lewis Del Mar at The Mercury Lounge. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
