Fans flooded the comments, singing the praises of every new jam. Vibrant instrumentals and well-incorporated vocals melt into GRiZ’ classic sound—that unmistakably funky mix of saxophone and electronic deliciousness. The album itself is quite upbeat, and that energy is certainly present in the Rainbow Brain movie.

For much of the movie, GRiZ stands center, cloaked in lights and lasers—the blank, dark space around him stretching far beyond our computer screens and TVs—into another world. The floor beneath him glows periodically, casting a glow upon his face. He’s smiling, head up, arms bobbing and waving to the beat of his music in perfect carefree fashion. Here, the Rainbow Brain album comes to life. The featured artists take the stage and bring their own flavor to that signature GRiZ style. Everyone looks like they’re having a blast, just vibing to the music and enjoying the fully realized product.

Apparently, artists will include him as a featured name on their songs, but when you give them a listen…he’s nowhere to be found. But there they are, listed on GRiZ fans’ “Release Radar” playlists. It’s a sneaky move— one that clearly does not go unnoticed by the artist being incorrectly mentioned beneath each song’s title. The comments chatter in unison, “How is this not illegal?” And really, I don’t get it either. I know artists really want to be featured on those Release Radar, discover weekly, etc. playlists, but naming an artist without their consent definitely crosses a line. One of his “featured” songs may have appeared in a previous “Release Radar” playlists that graced my Spotify. I remember being confused— wondering why the song was not posted on any GRiZ social media accounts, or tagged on his own Spotify page.

This past week, however, Grant Kwiecinski released his latest single, “Astro Funk,” a signature GRiZ sound, blasting that funky, up-beat energy that follows him everywhere he goes.

And by the way, this is what his social media looks like when he actually works on a project… for future reference.

And, of course, he credits the artist

GRiZ: “Could U”

On February 6, “Could U” hit all of our favorite streaming services and social media platforms. Grant Kwiecinski himself (AKA GRiZ, duh!) took to Twitter the other day describing this latest jam as, “Funky, techy, bassy house vibes” and I couldn’t agree more. It has that signature funkiness that is always present in GRiZ songs– that high energy sound that grabs your shoulders and insists that you move around (no matter how weird it looks).

This new single came in a pack of two. He dropped an original and the Club Mix, and they both pack a punch (okay, I won’t lie, I can’t really tell them apart). There is an echoey element before the drop, that then bubbles up straight out of the speaker. Songs like this are so surreal when you pop in your headphones and crank the volume. It’s a totally different experience, especially compared to just playing it from a computer. Basically, check out “Could U” and seriously consider splurging on a concert or festival ticket to catch GRiZ in action when he returns to the states.

Louis The Child: “Don’t Mind”

Louis The Child (Robby Hauldren and Frederic Kennett) released their new single, “Don’t Mind” on January 31, shining some well-deserved light on our lives. The duo has been on quite the singles kick lately, putting out six in 2019. They continue that here in 2020 with this latest song. It certainly follows their usual thread of sunny-sounding, electronic pop, which is exactly what I’ve been craving lately. Listening to “Don’t Mind” on the way to class puts a spring in my step and a smile on my face.

I wouldn’t be surprised if every song represented in this article joined hands and ran off into the sunset together– the sunset being the cover art for this Louis The Child song. I would absolutely chase after them, happy to follow that rainbow road as far as it would take me. Hopefully, it would lead through winter and straight to California in time to catch “Don’t Mind” live this April.

San Holo: “Honest”

Sander van Dijck, known to us as San Holo, released a new song on January 31. Similar to much of his music, “Honest” gives me some gentle electronic vibes. He and Broods came together to create a perfect blend of indie-pop and EDM. This latest song truly coincides with San Holo’s “stay vibrant” philosophy, a phrase that grew in popularity in 2019. He promotes positivity and good energy as a spectrum, able to be represented by whatever percentage of “vibrance” you seem to be feeling. He tweeted yesterday, hinting at a “vibrant hotline” (whatever that entails, we don’t know yet), and the replies have been overwhelmingly positive.

This gushing and overflowing of positivity present on his timeline spills out in this new release. With 1 million streams in its first week, “Honest” is definitely a hint of warmth in this dreary February. San Holo is already touring, and if you want to kill two birds with one stone, he’ll be in Detroit with Louis The Child in May!
