serpentwithfeet, the Baltimore-born singer-songwriter, is taking natural steps as a versatile talent from chapter to chapter in his career. His third album GRIP finds its home on the dance floor of Black gay nightlife spaces and the intimate moments that happen there and afterward, no matter the location. It explores moments of physical touch and how they occur. Whether it be a grip around the waist or the face, serpentwithfeet explores all angles. GRIP sonically lives the highs and lows of a night out at the club and romance too. “Damn Gloves (ft. Ty Dolla $ign and Yanga Yaya)” captures the adrenaline rush of a night’s peak with a thumping bass that mimics the heartbeat’s speed as intimacy runs high between two lovers. “Spades” creates a tender moment as a slow-dance would. “Lucky Me” is honest, void of anything that distracts from the moment at hand as serpent’s voice, a twinkling guitar melody, and enchanting synths serve as the driving force to champion a new romance. It’s a body of work that highlights moments closest to the heart. Throughout his career, serpentwithfeet has exhibited versatility through R&B music and he continues to push the limits of his artistry.
