From Brooklyn to the World: Fireberg’s ‘Myami Rain’ EP Story

by Electronic Groove

“I first heard J Hoard sing when he was performing as part of ‘The Lesson,’  an improvised r&b and hip-hop weekly residency at Arlene’s Grocery. He had an uncanny ability, off-the-cuff, to come up with an incredibly captivating hook, memorable and moving both for its lyrics and melody. His vocal range is practically unparalleled in most artists today and his energy on stage is electrifying. I worked with him on a handful of r&b tracks, one of which, ‘Got the Light,’ he released on Ropeadope Records. And towards the end of those sessions I played the ‘Myami’ instrumental and we threw around a couple lyrical concepts about the idea of “chasing rainbows” and not appreciating where you’re at and what you already have in your life. Within an hour, he had developed the entire song. Watching him quickly compose and perform the vocal parts, particularly the background vocals, was fascinating and inspiring.”
