Skip Waiters (@skipwaiters) is giving a new meaning to conscious music. The rising Brampton-based artist’s latest single, “Mother’s Basement”, gives us insight into his thoughts of transitioning from living in his mother’s home, then moving out. “This project is about exploration, healing, problems and finding solutions. It’s purely centered around soul searching.” he shares with Remixd Mag.
Quite similar to Tyler, the Creator, and Anderson .Paak, Skip Waiters offers a unique and creative style to storytelling. This artist’s pen game is to be respected as has a way of painting vivid pictures with just his lyrics. His lyrics are delivered in such a chill, yet enthralling way, you can’t help but to listen with open ears. His sound can be described as alternative Hip-Hop & R&B as he likes to control the narrative on what traditional genres sound like.
The accompanying visual to the single is just as captivating. We’re taken on a journey through Skip Waiters’ introspection throughout the video. We find him throughout different rooms of a colorful and vintage, yet empty house as he performs his song as three different versions of himself. The music video and song together just feels like a personal invitation into Skip’s mind.
“Mother’s Basement” is off Skip Waiter’s Stream of Consciousness album, which released on his birthday. “The inspiration behind the project was therapy. It’s about me trying to find myself as an artist, but most importantly as a human being. Writing a lot of these introspective songs made me realize I don’t have everything figured out. This album was my way to figure out why.”
With that said, Skip Waiters is definitely an artist that is worth exploring. He’s one that is relatable, will have you thinking, and grooving to his music at the same time. Make sure to check out “Mother’s Basement”, and Stream of Consciousness below, and follow him @skipwaiters on all platforms!
