GL James isn’t just about writing songs, he’s focused on creating moments that resonate deeply with his audience. His latest single, “TAYL,” featuring Internet Creep, Driip, and JAROFSAN.D showcases his unique style, blending emotions with energetic beats. The lyrics are introspective, paired with a fast-paced rhythm that feels like a relentless rush toward emotional relief.
“TAYL” pulls you into its vibrant mix of rock sounds and catchy pop melodies. It demands your attention, not through pressure, but through its emotional pull. Imagine combining the laid-back vibe of Mac DeMarco with the coolness of Steve Lacy, but adding a touch of clarity that feels like late-night reflections. That’s the essence of “TAYL.” GL James has a knack for pairing quick, lively music with lyrics that linger long after the song ends. In “TAYL,” he opens up about honesty in a genuine way. His singing feels like a diary entry left open on a kitchen counter, honest, slightly messy, and entirely relatable. You can hear the influence of artists like Frank Sativa and modern indie musicians, but more importantly, you can sense that GL James is crafting something distinctly his own.
There’s something special about transforming grief into a fast-paced experience, turning heartbreak into a rhythm. That’s precisely what “TAYL” achieves. It captures the quiet, emotional conversations we have with ourselves after a tough moment ends. It moves swiftly because emotions often do.
