Genre-crossing alternative artist grandma will be back with his latest single, “God Hired You To Be My Baby.” The Atlanta native captures the unique emotions of love through a guitar-driven production, raspy vocal, and piercing lyrics, which promises to be a powerful, rebellious pop anthem.
According to grandma, this new song is “a guitar-driven track that channels maximalist nineties pop to tell the tale of a person who views their relationship as a divine paid gig. Leaning into the themes of intimacy and the machine with lines like ‘you got shadowbanned for acting how you act on life.’ although it is overtly vapid, the song aims to capture the idea that there is labor to love.”
This is the latest track from grandma's upcoming EP, Angelhood, which will be released on August 12, 2022. 2022. The EP will also include the recent singles “I Met God Online” and “Blue Atlanta”.
“Blue Atlanta” was welcomed with appreciation from publications, such as Lyrical Lemonade as “an all-out spectacle…a very calm, peaceful vibe that clashes with these epic, momentous synths that never seem to get too over-the-top, but extend just enough emotion to allow grandma to truly let his passion and heart show.”
Applauded by Highsnobiety for “crafting music that pushes the notion of genre experimentation and fusion to unimaginably innovative heights,” grandma is an incredible artist with a unique vision and innovative musical style, which makes his new music really a worth waiting track for alternative fans.
