It has been a long while since we have heard any new material from out country sensation Steve Grand, an artist whose "All-American Boy" music video went viral in 2013 for the portrayal of a same-sex love story in context of the usually conservative music genre. Immediately, he was shoved into the spotlight. Thank god!
Since surpassing his KickStarter goal (over $325,000 raised) to get his debut album on the shelves, Grand has been hard at work to give fans the album they deserve. The first offering is the newly released "Time", another sweet country/pop ballad recording in a Nashville studio.
Released alongside a cover of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets", the new original track follows in the footsteps of Grand's previous efforts ("Stay", "Back in California"), as a heartfelt, country-inspired song telling an honest story of love while highlighting the artist's impressive talent for songwriting. Fans have been forced to wait since February for a taste of what to expect from Grand's hotly anticipated debut, but the new track proves why he definitely won't disappoint when it is released next year.
"Time" opens up with a soft piano intro, focusing all attention on Grand's seductively sweet vocal performance as he reminisces on a past relationship before the energy and instrumentals pick up pace for the soaring chorus. "When time was on our side, you and I suspended in that warm street light, and if you ever figure out this life, keep telling me those sweet, sweet lies, cuz I don't wanna know" the artist sings with intense passion for his gender-neutral lover. Given Grand's coming out story, the song could hold many meanings depending on the listener.
Grand is a talented independent musician, currently relying on no label for extra support. The 24-year-old is striving for perfection on his upcoming album, and is clearly achieving it. "Time" is a personal look into the artist's love life as a young adult. The song could be peeking behind the covers of a love Grand could not see as false, or it could be the fact he is the one leading his lover on. Either way, like most stories, it's a love that eventually leads to unfortunate heartache.
