23 year-old New York artist Gio Genesis has shared a fresh new single called “Wasting Away.” The musician, whose nimble, rich melodies are reminiscent of artists like Giveon and Daniel Caesar but with his own refreshing twist, is hot off the heels of engaging singles such as “Shoot For Something” and “Wither (Remix)” from earlier this year, and continues his run of solid alternative R&B offerings with “Wasting Away.”
Packed with emotion, “Wasting Away”‘s poignant songwriting and warm, wistful sound make it suitable for the sentimental months of late summer and early fall. With drifting, atmospheric guitars that create a nostalgic, minimalistic backdrop for Genesis’ evocative melodies, the song shines with simply his voice and the simple yet highly effective backdrop.
The latest from Gio Genesis, “Wasting Away” marks another strong offering from him and has us excited for what may be coming in the near future.
