Local Gladwin Michigander, Nathan John Feuerstein aka NF. was born on March, 30th, 1991. If you’ve ever listened to any of NF’s music then you know all of his lyrics and songs are based on his life and past. Each album brings something different, but it’s in order. For his back story, his mom overdosed and died and his father raised him. In 2010 NF started his music career releasing his debut album “Moments Under Nathan Feuerstein. During this time, he also started working on his first EP titled “NF” It wasn’t released until 2014. In 2014, he signed with Capitol CMG. The first time I heard NF was featured on Flame’s song “Start Over.” which after I listened to it, it totally struck me because I could really resonate with the lyrics, and I was expecting something different then Christian Rap, but it honestly is really empowering and the messages in all of NF’s song has a different meaning to it, and in someways I think each song can hit any one of us at any point in our life. On April, 22, 2016 “Therapy Sessions” was released. Lets jump to one week ago on October, 6, 2017 his third studio album “Perceptions” was released.
Now lets actually break the album down somewhat. The first single I heard from his recent album was “Let You Down” The beginning of the song starts out with what sounds like a kid, then goes into NF. Actually some other songs feature what sound like kids, but aren’t. I sat down and listened to this whole entire album multiple times, The second song I listened to was “10 Feet Down” feat. Ruelle. This song starts out with Ruelle, but it sounds backwards until NF comes in and throughout the song “10 feet down” is is weirdly auto tuned, but that makes his music more interesting and engaging. The beat is really catchy. The third track I listened to was “Dreams” This is more on the soft side of instrumentals which for anyone that knows me you know i gravitate towards that. What really resonated with me throughout this song was the lyrics” “I’ve been doin me, following my dreams.” The line about Michigan and reminiscing does remind me a lot about my friends and family, because that’s kind of how it’s gone for me since I moved. It’s not a bad thing because we all have lives and grow apart, sometimes I guess I just look back and wish I kept in contact with the people who I once was super close to but like with anything in my life I know I’m much better off where I am and am a lot happier. As for the rest of the album the whole album is great and worth checking out, but those three tracks really drew me in. Since I started listening to his music, it’s made me have an even more positive perspective on life, and I’m already a pretty positive person already, but when an artist can take song lyrics and really pull listeners in that’s music that’s worth continuing making. Artists like NF are true, real, and everyone has a story to tell so if you can tell it through words then that’s something that I wish I could do, but I’m not a lyricist. NF tells it like it is through all of his songs and that’s what I love most about his music so if you haven’t heard any of stuff then go check it out! Over all this album is 8/10!
