Almost two years after his X Factor departure, the 20-year-old singer is finally making his mark with “Is This Love,” the incredible lead track from his long-awaited debut Misty Eye, which will be released on August 13.
Misty Eye is the product of a partnership with Australian songwriter Jarrad Rogers, who previously worked with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Tinchy Stryder and Delta Goodrem.
Building on top of an echoing piano melody, Grimshaw’s lead single contains wisps of both Ellie Goulding-esque electronica and powerful flourishes of drum & bass, Katy B style. “There’s a fiery eye in the middle of the dark sea, and it’s pulling me down,” Grimshaw croons before the song explodes into its sparkling chorus.
“Is This Love” is exactly what I was hoping to hear from Grimshaw: Dark, cutting-edge pop with an electro flair. (So to answer your question Aiden, yes–it’s love, very much indeed.)
Oh, and a tiny confession: I may or may not have already heard half of the album, and I can already confirm that Misty Eyes is a monstrous debut. Seriously amazing. Just wait…
