The Real McCoy

posted in: Artist Features • Urban

 

No matter how much money is spent on grooming and promotion, an artist is only as good as his or her material. Even a sub-par singer can enjoy hit after hit when partnered with the right songwriting team (ahem, Ms. Spears). This makes someone like Paris Montgomery a hot commodity to studios and labels. The LA native has penned songs for artists such as Steph Jones, Usher, D’Angelo and D. Woods. But he doesn’t give all the good ones away. Tracks like Do You Ever Wonder and Smile are swelling, synth-driven R&B”upbeat and ardent. Roller Coaster is more somber fare, piano and digital beats swaying together before the chorus goes airborne. Montgomery is like Chris Brown 2.0”an artist with all the looks and talent who chooses to inspire instead of giving into his demons. Whether he’s writing behind the scenes or taking center stage himself, Montgomery is destined for high demand.
