Introducing the first single release from the upcoming album Jeopardized Love, songwriter and artist Gemwz follows a minimalist guitar set-up, through a fast-paced personal outpouring of quiet, contemporary reflections, for the organic and impassioned Back To You.
Building up from this decidedly raw but recognisable beginning, Back to You soon rises towards a falsetto vocal crescendo that effectively resolves the sentiments that led to it. Gemwz’ vocal versatility is highlighted in playful but modest ways, the genuine emotions of the lyrics seeming to guide an authentic performance that’s softly mixed and unedited in its occasionally dissonant realism and ache.
Reflecting on the pain of separation and the inescapable grip of a toxic kind of love, Back To You is original in everything from production to lyric to tone, and yet even so, the concept is likely to connect with a vast number of listeners who’ve been through the same level of complex emotions relating to love.
Grace Wachter is the artist behind Gemwz (pronounced ‘Gems’), a singer, rapper and songwriter whom first made waves through the indie scene with her single Bad Dayz. Music has long since been a source of escapism and healing for Grace, and as such, the style and themes utilised throughout feel intensely intertwined with the process of writing for clarity and connection.
Somewhat indie to grunge by writing style but stripped back and largely unplugged for the most part, Gemwz carves out an interesting lane with this release. The new album should be one with plenty of equal creativity and emotional honesty to offer. Worth looking out for.
