Grayscale have dropped their new album ‘Nella Vita’ OUT NOW via Fearless Records.
Check out the video to “Baby Blue” an upbeat song jammed with jangly guitar riffs and catchy-as-hell lyrics built for the dance floor.
Under a heavy influence of everything from 90’s rock to funk, as well as a rotation of modern hip-hop and R&B, Grayscale dove headfirst into writing ‘Nella Vita’ and at the top of 2019, the guys traded their hometown of Philadelphia for Austin, TX, holing up in the Machine Shop alongside producer MACHINE [Lamb of God, As It Is, Armor For Sleep, Four Year Strong]. The resulting collection of tracks is one that sees the band chronicling life, its many facets, and its many complications, as they themselves have experienced.
‘Baby Blue’ follows the bittersweet first single from the album – ‘Painkiller Weather’ – a story about being in love with someone who is unable to free themselves from their vice. Throughout ‘Nella Vita’, the quintet explore themes of sex, drugs, death, despair and everything that embodies life, through a lense that, though far from rose-tinted, finds a lot of positivity in surviving the darkest of experiences. The title of the record itself – ‘Nella Vita’ – and its twelve tracks are a veritable journey that’s both pensive and cathartic. Grayscale manage to bring out the light in the dark and much of the album taps a pop sensibility that will have you singing along and empathising with the lyrics in no time.
“It’s really personal,” explains Walsh, when speaking about ‘Nella Vita’. “The music provokes a lot of visuals, because it’s very conversational, real, and romantic. I suppose that’s just how I write. The songs capture the spectrum of emotions that you experience in life and real experiences like love, sex, being a teenager, addiction, pain, joy, grief, death, and everything. Life isn’t just one thing; neither is music. We’re a rock band, but we want people to dance, laugh, cry, and have fun.”
