[MP3] yellow shoots – desert rose
Kind of digging the funky, throwback/Prince vibe on this one….
Official PR blur with more info:
Today, Philadelphia-born and Brooklyn-based alternative maestro Yellow Shoots released “desert rose,” his debut single off his forthcoming LP everything. Propelled by handclaps, vintage Oberheim synths, and smooth falsetto, its sizzling strut scorches on impact.
Yellow Shoots founder, vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Greg Matthews uncovers a catchy and cosmic crossroads between progressive rock instrumentation and soulful R&B crooning. “It’s essentially about being obsessed with someone and building a whole distorted world around that person,” Matthews explains. “You realize it’s all make-believe when you come back down to reality. The object of your affection won’t give you the time of day, but you create a fictitious vision.”
Devoting countless hours to the guitar as well as devouring the catalogs of Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jill Scott, Bilal, Zapp and Roger, and Bill Withers, he attended University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Post-graduation, he cut his teeth performing with GoGo Morrow at high-profile gigs like Jay-Z’s Made In America Festival in addition to collaborating with City High’s Ryan Toby. Upon relocating to Brooklyn, Greg formally launched Yellow Shoots with the More Alive EP in 2015 and the 2017 follow-up Stormy Weather. Not only did the artist personally sing and perform guitar, drums, bass, saxophone, and keyboards, but he also wrote and produced.

The bio called it “California hippy meets Chicago soul…” We don’t know if that’s really the best description of this track but we dig it. From the How To Stay Alive: Vol II EP. Not sure if that’s out yet but Vol. I is HERE.

That video is incredible (but not free from controversy!) I look forward to the deluge of think-pieces on it that are sure to be forthcoming….
