Buy U A Drunk (Shawty Snappin) is definetely the best track on the entire album, its slow vibe and hot atmosphere will make any club music lover simply happy. He is accompinied by Akon on Bartender, which is a nice R&B club ballad featuring T-Pain's vocoder phrases. The other album's singles are Bartender and Buy U A Drunk (Shawty Snappin) on which T-Pain comes as a singer at his best. The next song Church is this album's third single, T-Pain raps here again to an up tempo beat, sounds really lively and bouncy, however the song doesn't really differ from the previous one. Here T-Pain raps mostly all the time and comes down to singing only in a short chorus, overall, this song sounds quite solid. T-Pain continues this demonstration of his love to dictionaries with a pretty powerful, mid tempo track Tallahassee Love, convincing everyone that he persanly had a moment of creative insight. Judging to all appearances the idea of the album's title was inspired by a second one, calling himself a supernatural being, even in a musical sense, would be too much for this stylish and self consistent singing seducer. T-Pain opens the album with a couple of neatly pronounced explanations: "Epiphany, definition one: the manifestation of a supernatural being" and "definition two: a sudden moment of insight or revelation". The term R&B is quite suitable for Euphany in both music and lyrics, which have all the tradittional mainstream traits yet not without specific peculiarities.Įpiphany offers great songs and firstclass sound However, saying that the new album has nothing to do with the music trends T-Pain exagerrates a little of course. His songs have a little bit harder edge then the tradittional R&B/hip-hop mainstream of today and he frequently uses vocoder for his vocals at that, which is really uncharecteristic for this genre. Actually, this claim doesn't look like something you would never believe – T-Pain sounds pretty destinctive among other R&B performers. In one of his interviews T-Pain stated that this album is the more mature attempt and that it is not following the current trend in music. Therefore let's not cast doubts on gifts of this young performer and say at once, his sophomore album Epiphany is quite a worthy continuation of a bright start. At least this is what eight hundred thousands of sold copies of his debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga speak about.
T-Pain made a huge splash in the music industry back in 2005 with a couple of his singles and acquired a good reputation since then.
