Saxophone-wielding, electronic-soul producer and performer GRiZ, real name Grant Gwiencinski, has unveiled a ton of information about his plans for the beginning of 2015 and it is everything fans could have hoped for and more. The "A Fine Way To Die" producer announced that his new album, Say It Loud, will be released this March and he has unveiled a brand new single from it.
The single, "Stop Trippin,'" has all of the drive and funk you would expect from a GRiZ track with the added bonus of female vocals from iDA HAWK. A download is not available yet, but Gwiencinski makes all of his music available for free, so stay tuned for the download link when it goes live on the re-launched AllGoodRecords website.
GRiZ will be heading out on tour to support the album. While it is billed as a "world tour," the vast majority of the dates are in the United States with only five in Europe. In Europe, he will hit three spots in Switzerland, Paris and Sofia before coming back to the United States to crisscross the country, playing shows in Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Seattle and Los Angeles before making his final stop at Hangout Festival on May 15. His lone Canadian date will be in Vancouver on May 9. You can purchase tickets for the tour on his website now.
