Hollywood native Blackbear, well - known for pop songwriting and collaborations, presents a more introspective side in his solo work. He was among the first 'Soundcloud Rappers' to profit from his tracks in the streaming era and has collaborated with legends like Cam'ron and Mike Shinoda. ANONYMOUS is a modern R&B album with hip - hop elements and a touch of self - confidence. Blackbear pours his feelings into the music, with themes of missed texts and brand names set to autotuned hooks. Tracks like “SWEAR TO GOD” start with staccato strings followed by distorted breakbeats, and HIGH1X features unique vocal recording and trap snares. This limited - edition record is pressed on opaque red colored vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve with printed inners. It's released by Interscope Records in 2019 and was reviewed by KUMA in June 2019.
Using this vinyl LP is simple. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle onto the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust from the grooves. Be careful not to scratch the surface while cleaning. Also, when taking the vinyl out of the gatefold sleeve, do it slowly to avoid any damage to the record or the sleeve.
