Bryson Tiller’s Music Saved Him; Now He Wants To Save Your Relationship
Bryson Tiller is a man of a few words—at least, he is in interviews—but when he sings, his magic lies in the way that he speaks to you, not at you.
He mastered the art of seduction by taking a note from 90s R&B greats like Boyz II Men and 112, but instead of catering to nostalgia junkies and recreating a sound from an ended era, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter engages a listener by making you feel like it's only you in the room. This is his gift, and why he’s already solidified himself as one of 2016’s breakout stars.
"If you listen to the lyrics, they're honest—they're not afraid to be, and [it's] the way they put the words together,” he tells Fuse. "It's the way they say certain things, the way they talk to a woman on a song—that's what I try to do with my music. Some people talk at women, and they talk to women."
