The musical landscape is ever-evolving, and few embody its fluidity as eloquently as ZHU. As years pass, this prodigious artist’s artistry matures, akin to a fine wine, continually offering a refreshing zest with each note. Days Before Grace, ZHU’s newly minted EP, is this refinement on full display. Crafted as an enticing teaser for his forthcoming album, Grace, set to drop this January, the EP is an auditory delicacy, interweaving popular hits “Changes” and “Revelations” with four brand new melodies.
What is unmistakable with every ZHU endeavor is his intrinsic ability to channel current inspirations, presenting an auditory experience that remains unmatched. With Days Before Grace, he plunges into a darker realm of the electronic genre, interspersing hip-hop rhythms and bass-heavy inflections. Tracks like ‘Take My Soul’ and ‘Devil’s Prescription’ transport listeners to an ethereal world reminiscent of trap and mid-tempo bass maestros like Rezz and RL Grime.
As ZHU unveils this captivating EP, one thing is crystal clear: his skills as a producer is unparalleled. Each track on ‘Days Before Grace’ goes above and beyond the call of duty, raising anticipation for Grace to an all-time high. And while January seems an agonizing wait away, ZHU’s EP promises an engrossing prelude, ensuring fans remain entranced in the interim.
