Rising star Reece Young, who released the HERE EP last year via UNFD, is storming into the new year with the first taste of new music in the form of a ferocious, arena-sized new track.
Young has just shared the visualizer for "broken glass." The track features Albany hardcore band Downswing. Yes, it slays from top to bottom.
But don't just take our word for it. Watch and listen below.
"broken glass" is pumped full of crunchy, gnarly synths, death howls, and memorable melodies.
"The entire theme of this upcoming batch of songs encompasses my personal struggle with constant comparison," muses Young. "In today's social media-centered society, it is impossible to not compare yourself to others. I'm often sitting there wondering, 'Why them?' when I see someone thriving at something I'm trying to achieve myself. 'broken glass' is my message to those at the top."
And what a message it is! It certainly lets the listener know that Reece Young did not come to play. He came to stay.
New Jersey born and raised, Reece Young emerged and gained traction via his self-released early music. He lays it all out there has put all the adversity he's faced, his personal struggles, his frustration, into a vulnerable and universally authentic sound. Young, now Nashville-based, is "one of us" — a music obsessive who has channeled his passion for the scene and his favorite artists into making his own and getting onto the stage himself. With a modus operandi of sharing tales of facing adversity, overcoming personal struggles, by tying open-vein vulnerability and authenticity to gargantuan choruses, the time is now for Reece Young to set about joining the big leagues and emulating what his heroes have done before him.
