[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In May I had the pleasure of interviewing Traklife’s People’s Choice winner William Hinson<\/a>, a North Carolina native looking to share a different kind of sound with the music industry.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”27096″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I talked to William about genre-bending, staying unconventional, inspirations, the pandemic, and our shared love of Kacey Musgraves. Hinson talks about his latest album titled Everything Will Be Okay<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>saying “some people would say that maybe it’s not the most genre-ly cohesive record, and so in that way, I think it is unconventional.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hinson’s ability to refrain from confining to one single genre is commendable, as while he does not adhere to typical music industry “rules,” this is at his advantage. Through integrating multiple sounds into his record, Hinson has created a beautiful medley of unique sounds that compliment each other.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]My personal favorite on\u00a0Everything Will Be Okay <\/em>is the fourth track “I Can’t Think For Myself,”<\/a> a song with a fifties-inspired sound, and twenty-first-century lyrics. Including a song with this type of sound is risky, but Hinson’s unique tenor and the solemn music which accompanies it makes for a beautiful record.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It was an absolute pleasure to chat with William Hinson!
