With A Full Hand of Black Cards, The Dominoes Are Falling Down



NEW SAMPLE TRACK

Artist: Black Cards

Album: Black Cards YouTube tracks

Single: Dominoes

Released: 2011 (only on YouTube)

Black Cards is a new project formed by ex-Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz, with reggae and ska genres in mind. Frontwoman BeBe Rexha may seem an odd choice for this type of musical influence, as her voice seems more pop-oriented, but she fits nicely into the little niche that Black Cards has aspired to carve for themselves. "Dominoes" sways to the electronic side of reggae, combining peppy tones, a hip-hop like beat, and a complimentary reggae background. Weaving all three of these elements together, they have a strong instrumental foundation that is bettered by Rexha's vocals, catchy and smooth but not overbearing. The track is actually quite quick to catch your attention, not the typical pop song, and won't let it go until it's up. With a fun lyrical incline and a solid direction, "Dominoes" proves to be the game to play. Check out the new track on YouTube, from Black Card's official channel.
