We had an opportunity to stop at BurgerFi, one of the main tenants that have sprung up by the Giant Eagle Market District in the Cuyahoga Falls neighborhood of Akron, Ohio. We were treated to quick service, large portions, and a hands-on owner that made our experience a delightful one.
Steel’s Good Vibes starts with an infectious synth beat and ties together hints of 1990s dance with hints of reggae and pop. The arrangements rise and fall during Good Vibes, allowing the vocals of Steel and Nychaela Symone ample opportunity to shine.
Diana Ebe’s Bold begins with a powerful vocal/synth opening before ratcheting up the intensity and going for an electronic/organic dichotomy. What ultimately results with Bold is a haunting, atmospheric sort of composition that works equally well in the EDM and pop genres.
