Aaron Smith, aka Shwayze, recently released a solo mixtape titled "Love Stoned" for free on his website www.aaronsmithmusic.com. Now, I'm a huge fan of Shwayze - he has great flow, creative lyrics, and a really laid back vibe to his music. Aaron's solo music, however, seems to be more electronic influenced and misses the smooth vocals added by Cisco Adler in Shwayze. That being said, it's not a bad mixtape at all; Many songs have been stuck in my head for the past few days and I've been enjoying it very much. Aaron's creativity does show through on tracks like Love Letter, Pretty Girl, and If That's What You Want which alone are enough of an excuse to download this free album. Lyrically, this album focuses less on "weed and women" and more on the complex emotions associated with love, which is an interesting turn for Aaron that some people may not enjoy, but is ultimately not a big deal in any way.
All in all, Love Stoned is a pretty average album with a few very good songs - worth the download for sure.

I apologize for the short review, I'm just trying to get one in before my next class starts.
Oh, and go read movie reviews. Christian knows his way around some movies. http://indiescream.wordpress.com/
