Let's talk about this evolution in your sound. He showed me the synths where he played "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight," and I'm geeking. It made me go into that alternative direction, and we started working on that project last year.
When I was 18, and I found album Give Up, and it changed my life. We got Jimmy Tamborello, who's one half of Postal Service. Aside from Maki, who's my right-hand man producer, and Just Blaze, who executive produced it. That's why I feel like it all came full-circle on this project and why it feels well-rounded because of the R&B influence and the approach I take with that. I didn't always do the alternative stuff. I came out a minute ago, in terms of internet, and sounded more alternative but then started transitioning into more R&B and back to almost urban. With the R&B stuff that came out in the last 12 months, that's a huge part of me. I actually didn't realize that you're also a rapper because you mostly sing on your last EP, You Knew Me All Along. I genuinely think it's the most well-rounded album. I think it's absolutely amazing work, and I'm not just saying that because it's mine. It's six records, and it's great with the storytelling and sequencing.
It's clearly a difficult city to live and stay afloat in. As an artist, you try to figure out certain things and try to come up in New York. What can you tell us about it?Įssentially this project is my most me ever. Let's start with Perfectly, Tragically Flawed. We sat down with OnCue on a rainy January afternoon in New York City to talk about the new record, as well as how indie pop duo, Postal Service, influenced him. And as he gears up to release his new project, Perfectly, Tragically Flawed, the Brooklyn singer/rapper is exploring interesting territory with some heavyweights as collaborators including Just Blaze - who signed OnCue, born Geoff Sarubbi, to his label Rebel Base Industries. If you give OnCue's catalog a listen, you'll notice that he's got a lot of sounds floating around.
