Grimm Lynn

Plenty of artists have a great voice, a penchant for catchy beats, and clever lyrics. What’s far more rare is the artist that taps into the alchemy of their talents and creativity. Where each piece is expertly crafted, and yet still manages to be so much greater than the sum of its parts. This is Grimm Lynn, a genre bending sonic alchemist. Something in the way his smooth voice intermingles with classic R&B beats and undeniably sexy bass lines transmutes each track into an aural elixir. The music is captivating, addicting, authentic, and sensual. Grimm Lynn frequently broaches the topic of modern love and sensuality in his lyrics, but avoids the pitfalls and cliches of less practiced songwriters. The lyrics and melody, deeply influenced by classic soul and hip-hop tracks, still feel fresh and contemporary. Featuring lines like “ I can be whatever you need / Be your friend, be the one who you trust / Doin' this, do your love / Doin' love ” perfectly encapsulate Grimm Lynn’s vibe - and ensconce his place as one of the premiere songwriters of the generation.

This week, we’re featuring the single “Whateva U Need” from his 2021 EP Body. Featuring many of the elements above, the track is a beautifully intimate serenade. While every element of the track is elegantly produced and refined, the bass line might just steal the show. A slinky, dynamic bass line intertwines with Grimm Lynn’s more static (and seriously silky) vocals. On the first listen, you may not notice the interplay of the bass, but when it drops out and returns - you realize just how badly you crave it. Immediately, you’ll be replaying the track just to truly appreciate the line. Grimm Lynn and L.A. based beatmaker 10.4 ROG drench this track in a seriously sexy vibe; which makes it a perfect addition to Black Tea.
