Musically, the headline is jazz. Bring Backs is low-intensity drumming, pleasant keys and extended solos. Alfa Mist’s self-taught piano skills are evident, and he utilizes his talented band well on each track. His vocal style is in the middle ground between speaking and rapping. While it might have been tempting to lend his voice constantly on his own record, Alfa Mist restricts his voice to just a couple of tracks. “Rapping is a tool in the box rather than a pursuit. It’s like an instrumental choice on the song. I don’t rap over everything because not everything needs it,” he says. Bring Backs is more about Alfa Mist’s instrumental prowess than his vocal ability.
