Stanley Rimpson Jr aka SRJ – “The Sky is the Limit” – a combination of soul and hard-edged guitar

Stanley Rimpson Jr, better known by his stage name SRJ, is an upcoming musician and producer from Joliet,IL . His knowledge of music stems from a family of musicians. Stanley grew up listening to his father play the organ, and his uncle playing the guitar, which greatly influenced him to become a musician. He has put a great deal of time of effort into perfecting his skill. For the past 8 years Stanley has been playing the guitar and learning all different styles of music. It is his passion to express himself through music in his own unique way while grasping the attention of the listener. “It’s easy to be heard but I want to be remembered” is a motto Stanley lives by. It’s difficult to pin a type of genre on Stanley’s music.

On June the 1st, the track, “The Sky is the Limit” will be released. Produced by Stanley Rimpson Jr, the song features on Vocals: Stanley Rimpson Jr – Guitar: Stanley Rimpson Jr – Synth: Gerald Roberts and Bass: Angelo Uzzle.

The track is a chunky bass/guitar led groove which revels in the rich influences of Soul, Rock and Funk. The song sneaks up on you and by time you realize what’s going on, you’re hooked. The more that you listen, the more you discover. SRJ’s songs are written with an underlining message that you can only understand after listening to them a few times.

What sets SRJ and “The Sky is the Limit” apart is that he’s not afraid to rock. Essentially an instrumental, with cool, laidback flowing vocals, the song showcases SRJ’s combination of soul and hard-edged guitar. SRJ is one of the most interesting musicians to emerge in the last few years, and this track does nothing to disprove that.

Stanley Rimpson Jr writes, produces, sings and plays musical instruments, whatever may be said about SRJ, it is evident his life is his music and he doesn’t have the angst-filled need to hide behind unnecessarily subterranean lyrics. He is confident, affirmative and positive…in other words, “The Sky is the Limit.”

If you’re looking for music that’s a little different than the cookie cutter type that’s around these days, this is your song; it incorporates a new sound mix which is quite refreshing and nice to listen to. A few minutes ago I put in the slot and pressed repeat and have been transported again. As I write this review, I’m sold on SRJ and “The Sky is the Limit”. The percussive rhythm, instrumentation and lyrics are compelling and strong. It makes me want to call some friends over and just groove!
