Uniquely distorted and high-octane house production meets with soulful meandering vocals and an EDM downpour of synths, as Belgian producer Gr4vty delivers a fresh take on electronic sound-design, for EGO.
Initially built around this careful juxtaposition between the smoothness of the voice, the emotions of the story, and the sheer intensity and pace of the production, EGO effectively captures a level of purpose and relevance to its own subject matter, with a track that grows all the more dark and enchanting as it rolls along.
Gr4vty’s attention to detail is second to none, offering a cascading and evolving soundscape that’s forever weaving some new quality or trait into the mix.
EGO is chaotic and powerful, multi-layered and haunting, but it’s also grounded by this rather catchy long-form melody, and the humanity and contemplation of the voice. The essence of EGO drives the expression of the track, and the producer’s ability to encapsulate that is mighty.
Noting stylistic similarities ranging from Depeche Mode to Underworld, EGO tells the story of a man trying to discover whether his appreciation for someone else is due to their own qualities, or their open admiration of his. The whole thing is mysterious and confronting, uncertain by lyric but bold and confident by design, and all of that connects perfectly to the swagger and force of this idea of EGO.
