Keen to get a head start on his sophomore EP release due in early 2024. The electro-pop singer-songwriter and producer Gregory Dillon switches dynamics as he unleashes his latest track, “James Dean.” Notably, in previous efforts, Gregory played to a pop-punk aesthetic where he shared adrenaline-fueled lyricism, spotlighting confessional narratives where above all, he retained a raw honesty and did not sugarcoat a thing. In the instance of “James Dean,” Gregory delivers dark pulsing synths and an orchestral twist that depicts a break-up anthem where he is inspired by his lifelong obsession with the famous movie star.
As with all his releases, the back story beyond the lyrics has a massive part to play in each and every song he puts out. For instance, following Gregory experiencing a life-altering car accident, he wrote “James Dean“. Out of the collision came this track that sees him reflect on love, loss and haunting memories.
Gregory says, “There are unspoken narratives of the past I’ve carried with me, and as I navigate my identity and emotions in the quiet streets of suburbia, I found an important perspective to the queer experience, echoing the rumored secret life of James Dean. This song is an emotional ode to lost potential and the haunting beauty of what could have been.”
Gregory’s latest music release is a testament to his whole-hearted investment in the lyrical narrative. His vocals breathe emotion like never before and are truly evocative. “James Dean” is a great example of his artistry as it starts with a dream-pop sound and then soars to electro-pop greatness with soaring synths and vocals. Gregory has undoubtedly carved a fresh ethos into his artistry and is a must-listen for anyone who loves great music.
