Wale has always been a storyteller, a wordsmith who can paint vivid pictures with his verses, tackling everything from societal woes to the intricacies of relationships. And with his latest single, “Where To Start,” he continues to cement his legacy as one of hip-hop’s most introspective and relatable voices.
This isn’t just another track; it’s a nostalgic, yet forward-looking, journey. Produced by Hollywood Cole, “Where To Start” immediately grabs you with its soulful sample of SWV’s classic 1992 hit, “I’m So Into You.” The blend of the familiar R&B groove with subtle go-go rhythms, a nod to his DMV roots, creates a soundscape that feels both fresh and deeply rooted.
What makes this track resonate so strongly is Wale’s vulnerability. He’s not afraid to peel back layers, sharing honest sentiments about love and relationships. The song showcases his poetic introspection, a hallmark of his best work, while still maintaining that conversational, engaging style that has endeared him to fans for years.
So, if you’re wondering “where to start ” (you all see what I did there? lol) with Wale’s latest offerings, this soulful, reflective single is the perfect jumping-off point. It’s a reminder that some artists, like fine wine, only get better with time, finding new depths to explore and new ways to connect with their audience.
