Kid Cudi – Grave

Kid Cudi has experienced various distinct phases throughout his career, achieving differing levels of success. Nevertheless, he is still regarded as a pioneer in the hip-hop genre. Without Cudi’s influence, artists such as Travis Scott may not have emerged. That said, Cudi continues to produce music, and on August 22nd, he will release a new album titled “Free.”

To promote this upcoming album, Cudi has released a track named “Grave,” which is available for listening below. This particular song leans more towards a pop sound. In fact, it incorporates some rock elements as well. Frankly, it resembles a song by Imagine Dragons, which might be somewhat surprising to certain fans.

Only time will reveal Cudi’s true intentions with this project and whether the album will successfully achieve his artistic objectives. Given this recent shift in musical style, one cannot help but feel a degree of skepticism. Cudi has previously adjusted his direction in response to unfavorable reactions to early snippets. Whether this song will compel him to make similar adjustments remains uncertain.

However, there are undoubtedly fans who will appreciate this new direction. Cudi is an artist who has garnered a loyal following, and they will continue to support him. His albums generate curiosity. Whether a fusion of rock and pop will be effective is a separate matter altogether.
