Today, multi-instrumentalist, producer, philanthropist, and LGBTQ advocate, GRiZ, has dropped his newest single ‘Vibe Check’.
Equal parts soul and bass, ‘Vibe Check’ is built on a foundation of energetic saxophone melodies and wonky bass drops that put GRiZ’s iconic sound design and production prowess on display.
GRiZ had an explosive 2020 with the release of the third iteration of his vibey mixtape Chasing The Golden Hour, Pt. 3 and his pride anthem “Medusa’ as well as two new instalments of his Bangers EP series, Bangers[5].Zip and Bangers[6].Zip. He hopes to continue spreading positivity and uplifting beats into the new year with ‘Vibe Check’ kicking off this mission in 2021.
GRiZ was the hero that 2020 needed, working tirelessly to help improve the communities around him. December 2020 marked the seventh anniversary of his charitable event series the 12 Days Of GRiZMAS, which featured holiday-themed activities, community service initiatives, and full blow-out virtual festival experience that featured eight hours of sets and live performances from Zeds Dead, Claude VonStroke, Destructo, AC Slater, Elohim, J.Worra, and more along with a two-hour performance from GRiZ himself. In the end, 12 Days of GRiZMAS raised over $125,000 in 2020 alone with all proceeds donated to Seven Mile, a non-profit raising awareness and funds for music, arts, and coding programs for Detroit’s Inner City Youth. Adding to this, he released his iconic GRiZMAS coffee blend again this year, donating all of its proceeds to the same cause.
Despite the uncertainty continuing to swirl amid the global climate, ‘Vibe Check’ is a dose of positivity the world needs right now. The track is also the perfect tune to get fans in the right headspace for the winter debut of Virtual Kulabunga, GRiZ’s health and wellness retreat. Spanning February 20-21, fans and friends alike will have the chance to connect and find a sense of community, self-empowerment, radical inclusion, and wellness; Virtual Kulabunga will offer live stream and off-screen activities such as creative writing with GRiZ, mindful movement, holistic fitness, expressive arts, body rhythm, guided meditation and more.
Stay tuned for more new music and virtual appearances from GRiZ.
