Notes on Robert “Free” Bradford

-when searched on the web Robert Bradford is usually associated with Eryka Badu
-artist(writing, arrangement and production)
-associated with production of Apple Tree ,My Life and No Love (all by Eryka Badu)
SOME OF MY OBSERVATIONS AFTER LISTENING THESE SONGS
-Apple Tree (soulful vocals and creative vocals ,harmonies are angelic, beats are probably
sampled,with bass guitar playing bass line)-beats resemble those found in 1980s hip hop
-No Love (sampling of beats again? beats are very distinguishable,piano plays the melody
and the theme of the overall song, soulful vocals(usually seen in jazz), flute is also present
towards the end of song)
-My Life (beats are very 1980’s hip hop,strings and piano dominant and lead the
melody,vocals resemble those of jazz) 2:22(hip hop production present)
Beats sound a bit mechanic here so I would assume they are sampled
*songs are combination of jazz,soul vocals and true hip hop beats
