Hailing from Atlanta, singer and songwriter Grimm Lynn shares the breezy R&B single “Cold One.” A summery single rooted in groovy melodies awash with unique vocals that entice you further into Lynn’s world of alt-hip-hop.
Built with minimal instrumentation, the track’s shuffling dream pads and hushed electric piano tones soothe our senses with a hazy sheen. Doused in summer acoustics and sepia-toned qualities, the laid-back tune promises to be the highlight of your summer with its cushioned sonics and elevated vocals.
Inspired by hot summer days, Lynn tells us that the heatwaves from his childhood became the influence behind the song. “I thought about the heatwaves from last summer & summers growing up and how relatively all of us want a refreshing cold drink underneath the shade to relieve us,” he says. “Now being an adult and dealing with more adult problems; like working an annoying ass 9-5, I think about how stress and heat just make you even more irritated. When you get off work all you want is a cold alcoholic beverage to blow off all that steam.”
Oozing a sultry sound, the track is unexpectedly seductive. With rousing R&B rhythms, Lynn’s vocals provide the goods on “Cold Ones” and it’s true, now we need a cold one to cool off.
