Hendy | ‘It’s Alright’, Perfect For A Summer Playlist
Hendy is establishing what your new favorite song for the summer is gonna be with the release of his bumpin’ new single, ‘It’s Alright.’ The Los Angeles-based singer/rapper has all the proper elements to flood your eardrums with positive energy.
Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Hendy’s beginnings in the music game started 10 years ago. However, the growing rapper began going by the name Hendy in 2018 after leaving a hip-hop collective. Regarding his stage name, ‘Hendy’ is simply a shortened nickname derived from the rapper’s last name.
The inspiration for Hendy’s ‘It’s Alright’ came from a mix of personal struggles and a gut feeling. After moving across the country to L.A, Hendy found himself frustrated and unable to create a song he felt was worthy of sharing with the world.
After concentrating on his strengths (singing, rapping, writing lyrics), Hendy stumbled across the song’s beat and immediately knew he found something special. With the perfect rhythm, Hendy wrote and recorded ‘It’s Alright’ in its entirety within a matter of days.
The creation of this song came at a time when I needed it more than anything – Hendy.
As soon as you hit play on ‘It’s Alright,’ it’s undeniable that the beat and Hendy’s lyrics came together perfectly, as the song is a whole vibe. From the jump, Hendy comes in hard with the bars, spitting each line with concentrated precision.
At different points in the song, Hendy displays the speed he’s capable of rapping with. Despite the rapid pace of his bars, Hendy never misses a beat and appears to never take a single breath during each transition.
Just when your mind is exhausted from taking in Hendy’s boppin’ flow, he hits you with a smooth, wavy chorus that soothes the eardrums. The slow-moving chorus is incredibly catchy and will get you singing along after only hearing it a couple of times. The ‘It’s Alright’ chorus also carries a certain energy that nearly forces you to sway and bop along with Hendy’s voice.
‘It’s Alright,’ produced by PDUB The Producer, features a beat that’s a whole vibe packed with unique sounds and good vibes. Several elements, such as jazz-like horns and a bumpin’ bass, mesh together to form a rhythm that makes it perfect for a summer drive with the windows down. ‘It’s Alright’ incorporates a precise amount of indie, jazz, and hip-hop sounds to create a captivating, high-energy beat that’s second to none.
Hendy moved out to California to pursue music full-time, and we’re certainly thankful he did. With the creation of ‘It’s Alright,’ Hendy proves he knows how to make music that fills the soul with good vibes and keeps you swaying from start to finish. With Hendy, there is never a dull moment in his music.
It feels really good to be putting music out again. It’s been 9 months since the release of my last single, and it’s been weighing on me to finally let people know that I’m back in business – Hendy.
