Nashville-based producer Gavin Shea brings back the spirit of the 2000s and the 1980s and mixes them in his latest single under the name of Richard String.
The sound, as if taken from Timbaland and Pharrell, is filled with some secret catchy tricks that almost ask to be called field-recorded R&B.
“In my garden, we stay in love.” The vocal part sounds like J. Sean overlistened to Sade. Bright foretasting synths, a groovy bass pulsation, and some cocktail-pool vibes of the ‘80s break through sometimes. Richard String is a magician who charmingly exaggerates the musical brilliance of eras, exhaling his tunes in a fresh burning night.
