We recently featured the talented sensation, JOIE GREY for his atmospheric TikTok viral hit Untitled, so we couldn’t wait to experience his new single, SILVER SURFER!
Immersing us with a quote from the classic 1954 movie Suddenly, JOIE GREY opens SILVER SURFER with the words “Johnny, relax”, before we experience a glistening and cerebral soundscape, as our protagonist delivers the self-empowering and assertive lyrics, “No feelings, I’m straight I’m winning, ta’ll move too slow, I’m running on rhythm…”
The opus expands into a transcendental, electronic pop meets alternative R&B soundscape, and we are mesmerized as JOIE GREY takes us on a metaphorical journey discussing the human condition, his power as an artist, financial abundance, and pushing forward.
We love the dimensional bassline, the hyperpop adjacent sound design intricacies and JOIE GREY‘s charismatic and enlightening delivery.
SILVER SURFER comes with an animated visual featuring the fictional character who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. We love the correlation between the traits of the comic book character and our musical protagonist.
We learn that the release of SILVER SURFER was sonically designed to be synched up to the end of Summer – a bouncy, upbeat ballad to give JOIE GREY‘s listeners an essential addition to their party playlists.
After a successful string of downtempo releases, SILVER SURFER is a clear statement that JOIE GREY can deliver high-energy tracks with the same level of quality.
When asked about the process of making the song, JOIE GREY confessed, “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.”
Accomplished photographer and filmmaker, Brittany O’Dell adds with passion, “The song is just so fun. You can’t help but dance when you listen to it!”. SILVER SURFER is written, produced and recorded the the visionary artist JOIE GREY himself, and we have added the track to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of JOIE GREY including Untitled and Maybe!
