Serpentwithfeet, the Baltimore born singer-songwriter, is taking
natural steps as a versatile talent from chapter to chapter in his career. His third album GRIP is the result of these latest steps. GRIP finds it's home on the dance floor of Black gay clubs and the intimate moments that happen there and afterward, no matter the location. It explores the small moments of physical touch and how they occur. Whether it be a grip around the waist or the face, serpentwithfeet manages to explore all angles. GRIP and the Black gay club share an interesting juxtaposition: the club is public; the dancefloor is obviously a place where people look at and watch one another. At the same time, the Black gay club is a safe community space, it is "for us", and in that way is very private, very intimate. These clubs provided a different atmosphere for him, a different comfort, and a different sense of welcoming that nurtured him in a new way. From start to finish, GRIP sonically lives the highs and lows of not only a night out at the club but of romance as well. "Damn Gloves (ft. Ty Dolla $ign and Yanga YaYa)" captures the adrenaline rush of a night's peak with a thumping bass entwined in dance production that mimics the heartbeat's speed as intimacy runs high between two lovers. "Spades" employs a sweet guitar-driven melody to create a tender moment as a slow-dance would. "Lucky Me" is sweet and honest, void of anything that distracts from the moment at hand as serpent's voice, a twinkling guitar melody, and enchanting synths serve as the driving force to champion a new romance. It is a body of work that highlights moments that are closest to the heart. Throughout his seven-year career, he has exhibited versatility through R&B music that's been in and outside of grim, spiritual, and joyous. Serpentwithfeet continues to push the limits of his artistry.
