Following the success of his debut single, Luton-based artist GADZ is gearing up for the end of the year with his latest drop Cold World.
An insight into the 18-year-old’s experiences, Cold World fuses snappy trap beats with mellow melodies and a reflective flow to replicate his desire to break free from the harsh hand that life has dealt him. The lyrical content is introspective beyond the rapper’s years and showcases his profound abilities in articulating what he’s been through.
Behind the words is an emotive beat made up of gentle piano licks, flourishes of guitar and electronic samples that intertwine with the percussion and elevate one another. The polyrhythms fall effortlessly into place and dance around GADZ’s full-bodied vocal.
A catchy melodic hook cuts through the accompaniment during the chorus section where GADZ’s tuneful voice really shines. He delivers his message, wrapped in emotion and truth.
For a sophomore single, GADZ is displaying an exceptional level of musical precision and unfiltered artistry. His talent is certainly one to watch.
Cold World is available to stream now.
