Gio Genesis returns with potent single, “Wasting Away”
New York artist Gio Genesis has returned with a new single called “Wasting Away.” Genesis, whose smooth, soulful sound, focused songwriting, and character-rich lyricism have garnered him significant buzz within the underground music scene, presents an infectious, emotive release in “Wasting Away”, which follows the release of well-received singles like “Shoot For Something” and “Wither (Remix).”
“Wasting Away” contains minimalistic instrumentation that enhances the song’s emotive feel, using bittersweet guitars soaked in reverb to convey a sense of longing. Atop the sentimental instrumentation, Genesis comes across with some memorable, sharply-written melodies that match the somber mood of the guitars, providing a cohesive and engaging performance that draws the listener into the song’s immersive sound.
Somewhat reminiscent of acts like Khalid and Giveon but with heaps of uniqueness from Genesis, “Wasting Away” makes for a captivating listen, as its subtly dream-like feel lifts the listener into a different world.
