Atlanta-based artist JOIE GREY impresses with a spacey charm on “SILVER SURFER,” meshing a futuristic pop feeling with R&B emotiveness.
“My generation wants to dance and move. With the current state of the world, I wanted to give people something they can unwind and get loose to,” Grey says about the track.
Grey’s mellow vocal presence converges seamlessly with starry-eyed electronic pulses, gradually bolstered by buzzing bass sensations. The stutter-y vocal effects approaching the one-minute turn plays with infectious appeal, especially when driving to the “running on rhythm,” hook and panting vocal effect.
Following the brief hyper-pop inclinations, tender guitars accompany a more subdued vocal presence. The glistening electronic familiarity re-emerges during the satiating conclusion, capturing the track’s dynamic tonal structure and melodic flow. “SILVER SURFER” is a memorable success from JOIE GREY, who wrote, produced, and recorded the track.
