<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">At age 24, GRiZ (aka Grant Kwiecinski) is already being hailed for his unique sound. He has asserted his place in the music world with his sax-infused sounds that find
heart and soul within the beat of the dance floor. <i>Say It Loud </i>serves as a follow-up to its more funk-step predecessors,
<i>Rebel Era</i> and <i>Mad Liberation</i>. With assists from rapper Talib Kweli, Afrobeat-group Antibalas, Ivan Neville, a L.A.’s Children’s Chorus, and others, the album finds a golden mean between an abundance of brass instruments, liberal use of soulful
vocals, and shimmering, synth beats. The name <i>Say It Loud</i> is an homage to James Brown’s funk-soul spirit and pioneering messages of equality, and the horns throughout the album shout-out to one of GRiZ’s favorite albums, Miles Davis’ masterpiece,
<i>Sketches of Spain</i>. Late last year, the artist dropped the funk-fuzz single “A Fine Way to Die” (co-written with singer-songwriter Orlando Napier) to tease his new sound, and the track quickly took the coveted #1 spot on
<i>Hype Machine’s </i>most popular chart. With an epic list of festival performances (</span><i><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">Movement, Coachella, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Lightning in a Bottle, Governor’s Ball</span></i><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">,
Diplo’s <i>Mad Decent Block Parties</i>, <i>Summer Set etc</i> )</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">, and tours with everyone from Bassnectar to Pretty Lights to Big Gigantic under his belt,
<i>Say It Loud</i> is a natural next step for GRiZ. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
