Having appeared on BlackPlastic.co.uk a number of times before, the extremely talented Billy Venas is back once again, this time with new single Grain.
The latest release from Panama-native, Texas-based musician, Grain doesn’t mess too much with the Vena’s formula. His yearning, Prince-like vocal stylings are here, wrapped up in a familiarly 80s-tinged sound. In contrast to some of his other releases, however, Grain has a slightly slower, soft-focused aesthetic. Warm synths and slow bass notes remind me of some of the finest moments of Blood Orange’s album Cupid Deluxe. Overall, it’s a little like a warm embrace from someone who you know is going to look after you.
