PRZNT has gained massive popularity on music platforms with more than 120 million streams under his belt. Now the Cuban-born hip-hop artist has released Night of the Rose, and he is extremely proud of the overall aesthetic of the debut album.
“It’s the instrumentals, the vocals, the melodies and the cover art,” PRZNT said of the album released on March 1, which has a unique and eclectic mix of genres and styles. “Everything about it is a perfect representation of me as an artist, and the person I’ve been trying to become all these years. I feel like I’ve finally reached a point where I am that person and I finally got to showcase it with a body of work.”
Night of the Rose is a compilation of songs that PRZNT has been working on for the past five years. Slowly but surely he was building a catalogue of material and was able to narrow it down to 11 songs that meshed into a finished product that he loves.
“I put it all into a collection for everyone to hear,” PRZNT said. “It’s like a piece of me for the world.”
PRZNT has been putting his due diligence in releasing Night of the Rose, saying that plenty of effort has gone into including songs that were just right for the collection. While there are smooth vocals that overlay solid beats in a hip-hop and R&B manner, it also transcends genres with an array of instruments including guitar and trumpet.
The album has a general mantra of going out and living the good life.
“Whether it is hanging out with friends, going out partying, or driving in the late night, there are a bunch of different experiences in every song,” PRZNT said. “It’s less of a message, but more of an experience that you have to have. Have fun and live life.”
Night of the Rose starts off with beautiful guitar picking that serves as a delicate introduction to PRZNT’s powerful, yet calming, vocals. He sings in the song opening track titled “Saint”:
“No I'm not a saint
And I won't change myself for you
Just to ease your pain
And I can't let myself fall through
Every puddle in the rain
It's like the petals of the rose
Telling me my fate
Will I be okay”
“The part of this album, specifically, that I’m most proud of is the beginning of ‘Saint,’” PRZNT said. “I feel like it couldn’t have been better as an introduction to my project. Like the beginning, the intro, is immaculate.”
The track is followed by “Like Pablo,” which PRZNT said is one of his favorite tracks. He loves the storytelling aspect to it, and it is once again along with some tantalizing guitar work that moves along with a rhythmic drum beat.
“Toxic” was released as a single for a year before the album came out, but PRZNT said this track went along so well with the rest of the Night of the Rose that he knew it needed to be included. The other single released was “Or Nah” which has a relaxing vibe with a sweet beat that goes with the steady easy flow of PRZNT’s vocals. It closes out the album in more of a traditional hip-hop and R&B manner.
The rest of the 11 tracks were released to the world with the full album all at once.
After moving from Cuba when he was six-years-old, PRZNT was raised in Florida where he still resides to this day. Music was his first passion, and he constantly surrounded himself with it. PRZNT was inspired by artists like Michael Jackson, Kid Cudi and Lil’Wayne, and said from a young age he knew he wanted to make music of his own.
“I am inspired by the music I grew up listening to, and not so much my experiences,” PRZNT said. “I think through my music I have lived a lot of experiences.”
When writing a song, PRZNT tends to just sit down and go at it, trying to write the best lyric he can possibly think of on the spot. PRZNT has been working on making his own beats to use, and said he usually gets a melody from a friend that he will vibe with for a bit. He’ll get a hook going and then put the drums and other instrumentals around the vocals.
“Mainly I come up with the hook melody first, before the lyrics,” he said. “I always try to focus on the hook because that is what people are going to feel the most.”
The sky is the limit for PRZNT, as he plans to release music for many years to come. He is putting his all into promoting Night of the Rose, saying that he has taken some time off from writing new material until the time is right. PRZNT will have shows in Los Angeles this spring that have yet to be announced, and this is where he will be able to showcase the album in a live setting.
“I’m really just trying to explore everything I can, and give it all I’ve got,” he said.
