Great songwriting – real music, live music, and a timeless organic style. Jason Greco has crafted a gem with this latest single, blending eighties vocal harmonies, reverb, lush guitars and live drums, with something like an introspective twist of The Smiths. I Need… is relatable, catchy, but also distinct enough to stand its own ground as a creatively recognisable new song.
Beautifully built, a sweet blend of guitars and distant backing vocals, with snappy hook lyrics and longer-form ideas slowly developing during the verses – this indie-rock take is gentle but engaging, and features an equally unique tone for the melodic instrumental break towards the end.
Jason Greco captures a style of his own for sure, and with thousands of followers and counting, the New York-based musician is clearly connecting.
Backed by a career in technology but refreshingly honest and somewhat unplugged for this nostalgic listen, Jason Greco keeps things genuine in the studio, meaning that a live show is set to impress and uplift all the more so.
Precision is key, a honed musical skillset and a voice that’s unmistakable but non-confronting, even humble. Jason’s sound blends subtle traits from rock and pop legends throughout the decades, ultimately landing on something that stands tall for its strength of writing, its dreamy tones, and its self-reflective purity.
This feels like music made out of a sheer need to do so, from an artist for whom writing songs is second nature, perhaps even essential.
A former semi-finalist in Musician Magazine’s Best Unsigned Band Competition, Jason Greco first crossed our path with Normal, back in 2020. His natural balancing of talent and consistency have continued to make steady waves within the independent music realm, and given the somewhat unwarranted rise of computer generated songs lately, that honest warmth has the potential to really light up the scene in the coming years. I Need… is a thoughtful pleasure to let fill the space around you.
