"An ill-advised entanglement that erupted under lustful circumstances." If anyone were to ask me to explain the vibe of musical artist Gemaine's latest project "Lefty" in one sentence, that would be it.
The eight-song project has a sequencing that sounds like falling in false love in one long night. The opening track, "Bad Intentions," dramatizes his falsetto and fiery guitar riffs/melodies in the best way, bringing with it an image of the back of a strip club cloaked in a blue tint. The record plants the seeds of a situationship with the wrong one, with the singing leaving you completely invested. However, the climax of the project happens early on with the sultry song "Take Off."
Take Off tries to build a home with two people that can't be kept. Ethereal chords position the song in focus and are immediately met by rich, timber drums, stacked snaps and organ chords that dress the rhythm in seductive couture. Gemaine's assured tone goes hand in hand with his nimble melodies and pitch changes. The impassioned runs in the harmonies embody the lone sexual attraction bonding them on the record. "Take Off" is the song that runs the hottest on "Lefty" and one of a few that lives without worries. But depending on how you perceive it, "Lefty" only gets steamier or more contentious from here. Either way, the quality of the music remains on top.
