No amount of Häagen-Dazs can heal a broken heart, but if there's anyone who proves resilient, it's Kenya Grace and her new project. The aftertaste.
Written, produced and performed entirely by Grace, the album is a rare blend that reinforces the EDM.com Class of 2024 star as one of the most formidable songwriters on the scene. Pangs of euphoric rave bliss mix with introspective whispers and haunting alternative angst, all unified by irresistible pop hooks that cut deep like emotional shrapnel.
A sonic bleeding, The aftertaste It's what happens when an artist finds herself after someone takes the color out of her world. Freed from the lie of her affection, Grace manages to pull off a masterstroke that her negligence could never conceive.
Analyzing the duality of desire and emptiness, the record It's more of a sensory explosion than an acquired taste. Redefining drum & bass music for a new generation of producers, Grace delivers a tantalizing bite of dark chocolate: deep, rich, and ultimately unforgettable.
She's at her most vulnerable on “Someone Else,” a harrowing anthem struggling with an identity crisis after a breakup. Leaving smoldering ruins where affection once flourished, her tortured voice bleeds jealousy melted over melancholic guitar licks.
Then navigate the emotional vertigo of the aftermath on the intoxicating “Only In My Mind,” a cathartic dance record that shines like a captivating cry for help. Here, pulsating synths and four hyperactive floor drums soundtrack a descent into the delirious depths of passion: “You say you love me, we sleep together every night / You touch me, I'm losing track of time / You kiss me” . “I look into your eyes / But it's only in my mind.”
Grace is now taking The aftertaste in the path of an american route, which will conclude in April with its historic debut at the iconic Coachella festival in Southern California. Listen to the new project below and find it on streaming platforms here via Major Recordings/Warner Records.
