Grandtheft - Square One (ft. MAX)

Over the years we've seen Grandtheft play through several genres: bass, club, trap, twerk, even "bloghaus" (see Hold On 2.0). Most recently, and successfully I might add, his RnB/Trap/Future Bass collaboration with fellow Torontonian Delaney Jane broke into the top 30 on US radio, while accumulating over 30 million plays between Spotify and Youtube. Almost exactly 13 months after "Easy Go" Grandtheft is primed to do it again, this time teaming up with one half of Party Pupils, MAX.

The co-written track "Square One" seems to build on the sensational sound laid down last year, while winding another alluring tapestry of lyrical content. MAX sings of the unavoidable uprising after hitting rock bottom, or being forced back to "Square One." It's a theme we've heard before with Grandtheft's Quit This City, particularly in "Summer In The Winter." It's a 'the sun shines brightest after the storm' type scenario. Let's hope that we've weathered this storm of silence and more of Grandtheft's productions find the light of day, because Grandtheft's greatness cannot be contained. From his treatment of MAX's heartfelt vocals and cutting chops to the strobing synths and delightful drum work, "Square One" is a track I foresee garnering scores of spins, whether on radio, DJ decks or streaming sources. Grandtheft's debut on the Lowly Palace imprint is out for free download via Hive here.
