Breakout artist grentperez releases the deluxe version of his debut album ‘Backflips in a Restaurant‘ (released via Fast Friends and AWAL), which includes three new tracks, “Girl at the Station (feat. Jeremy Passion”), “Peace of Mind” and “Might Not Be“.
Of the deluxe record, grentperez shares, “From what started as an ironic title quickly gained so much depth and meaning. I originally wanted to come up with a title that sounded deep and meaningful, initially coming up with things like ‘a life of love’ or ‘love from me to you’ but I couldn’t help but cringe at myself, questioning “who does this guy think he is haha”, so I opted for something a bit more striking. A backflip. Where would be the worst place to do one? A restaurant. Perfect.”
“But in saying that, a restaurant is the home for experience, it houses different flavours, people, memories, exactly what I aim to capture in my debut album ‘Backflips In A Restaurant’. Here I spread my legs and showcased my range as an artist, writing music from my usual croonery wedding ballads, into R&B, into some spoken rap, and into some groove too. From me to you, think of it as a ‘taste of what’s to come‘.”
The singer/songwriter, known for his signature charm of crafting melodic love songs, captures a genre bending evolution of his roots as a bedroom-pop sensation, mixing elements of R&B, indie-folk, pop-punk, symphonic pop, ’70s soft-rock, and so much more into his most boldly original body of work to date. ‘Backflips In A Restaurant’ embodies a sonic playground, from tracks his day one fans will resonate with to their core, to offering newly explored range from the vocalist.
