Opening with panning synth with luscious vocal textures, Philadelphia-based rising artist Just Shad, has released their latest empowering and encouraging offering, GO!.
Citing Pharrell, Timbaland, BB King and Jimi Hendrix as influences, GO! has an atmospheric trap vibe, which is dimensionalized with vocalist Just Shad‘s encouraging and vibrant energy.
The song features a luscious soundscape, with Shad’s vocals gliding through in conjunction with heavy 808s and modern hip-hop and RnB drums making for amazing ear candy.
Speaking on the track, Just Shad says, “GO! is about celebrating people having a good time at a party, club or function. The whole energy of the song is saying ‘I see what you’re doing, I love your energy, you look incredible keep going!'”
“There’s nothing like walking into a scene and someone does something incredible and everyone is involved in that intimate moment. This is for the ones that dance on top of the bar and look good! This is for the ones that let loose and enjoy being in the moment!“
In an iconic move, and before the song was even released, GO! caught the attention of legendary artist T-Pain. On his Twitch stream after he listened to the single, he sat back and said “mmhmm” in satisfaction and then said “your melodies are dope as f*ck!”, then later “I like that a lot”!
What a great and much deserved endorsement for Just Shad who was born to a proud Haitian couple in Philadelphia and raised in the Christian church. It was after coaxing from his mother that he began to develop an interest in music. We can’t wait to hear more from the rising star, in the meantime, stream Just Shad’s discography below!
