Package by Uhmeer is the newest release he has done in 2021, and it is interesting to say the least. Uhmeer is moderately new to the scene being only 21 but has made waves in his short amount of time being in the industry. Starting back in 2018 as a featured artist alongside Sabrina Carpenter, he has since branched out and started his own musical career, releasing mainly singles. Package seems to be the beginning of creating larger projects for himself, intertwining songs and making the listener listen for longer than one song.
Tired
Tired is the first entry in this EP, and it sets the theme very quickly. The fast paced, but relaxed guitar displays the somber nature of the song. Lots of the lyrics demonstrate a feeling of being unsafe and of how the world around him is dangerous. The lyric “tired” comes in when he mentions if they are “tired of all the fighting”, indicating a struggle and fight with others. The song shows both an internal struggle as well as an external one with other groups.
Bear Hug
Bear Hug brings us into a more relaxed state, with a lapse of synth-wave style layering, and a slow beat. It is also the longest song on the EP, making it the song to listen to intensely and in detail. This song transports you to loving place that is full of emotion and at the same time extremely calm. The song makes you think about calm nights spent with someone that you really truly care about and want to be with, being in a perfect moment. As the song progresses it becomes more intricate with more layering in vocals and almost brings you out of that sleep like state we experienced at the beginning, and brings you into the real world again hearing clear sound.
Effit
Effit brings us back to some more hip-hop feeling vibes, hitting us with a hard 808 and a moderately fast beat. It still provides us with the soft sounds we have become accustomed to with this album, so it brings us into a new feeling. The lyrics talk about exploring and not believing that someone was gone, showing the pain of someone leaving and how it can effect ones reality. This song leans a lot on the idea of mental health, as there is a sample of a woman talking about going to therapy and explaining how it was hard to deal with the situation she was in and how it was difficult to get stability. The song has hard hitting topics that make it a very interesting listen.
Maskeeta
Maskeeta is the last song on the EP, and takes a drastic turn from the rest of the album, turning to some heavy hitting hip-hop beats. The flow of this song is the best one on the EP and really hits home with the hip-hop fan that listens. The chorus in the song really appeals to someone who is used to listening to artists like JID, as it has a flowy and almost effortless tagline. This song is, in this writers opinion the best song on the EP.
