There’s something disconcertingly calm about Joshy Grey’s vocal style. The man’s even keel as he recites the stories of his life is gloriously effective. “You need to relax, why you so mad? Is it the fact that you were exposed,” he raps on the brilliant “Coming Back,” highlighting his “the world is on fire but everybody just chill” vibe. “All I Ever Need” is better still; atmospheric, echoing piano frame a song that builds and builds, climaxing with a chant-like, infectious chorus. The songs is simultaneously haunting and anthemic, a tough blend to pull off. There are apparently many shades of Grey, and all of them are absolutely compelling.
