Kid Cudi has shared a new single, titled "Grave". "Grave" arrives as the second single from the influential Cleveland-born, Brooklyn-based artist- following "Neverland"- ahead of his anticipated upcoming album Free. An artist that has always carved out his own lane for his willingness to experiment with his sound and blend genres, Cudi continues along this path with "Grave"- an infectious track that leans towards pop music, while including undercurrents of hip-hop and indie rock.
Emotive guitars open "Grave", building into rich grooves underpinned by rich bass and punchy percussion. Kid Cudi delivers introspective verses in a dynamic tone, before launching into an ear-worm chorus- as distorted drums, and raw, electrifying guitar lines bolster the track's energy. Juxtaposing lighter, with a heavy, gritty chorus, "Grave" uses catchy melodies and textural production to make for a diverse, engaging listen.
The versatile, vibrant "Grave" arrives ahead of the ever-evolving Kid Cudi's upcoming album Free, arriving August 22, which represents the concept of seeking ultimate freedom, both artistically and personally.
