Gemïny – Hesitation (2022)
The tale of star-crossed lovers is one that has often been romanticised. Gemïny offers his own take on the topic with his single ‘Hesitation’ which is packed with the uncertainty and confusion of star-crossed love. Drawing on his characteristic funk-influenced basslines, he bounces listeners into a dynamic flow that tackles promises, idolisation, confusion, uncertainty and the overwhelming experience of courting.
Adding to his usual dynamic flair, Gemïny adds a hint of rock nuance that takes this soul-pop single to new heights. Since starting his musical career by studying music composition at the University of South Carolina, Gemïny has used his own experiences to create engaging music. Following his last release, he is wasting no time riding the momentum with this fun and infectious track.
The strummed opening of ‘Hesitation’ has you gently bopping to the rhythm of the track, before the funk-influenced beats hit. This opening is a like a slow awakening of emotion that perfectly combines with the story of the track. As you slide into the body of the melody, you can feel the fusion of different genres and styles. There is a push of rock that bounces off the groovy and funky beats, only to fly into a higher level that is a wonderful combination of pop and RnB. It is a great balance of nuance that comes together for a pumping flow of sound that brings the emotions of the track to life. The rollercoaster ride of star-crossed lovers has been woven into the movement of the melody, creating a dynamic flow that takes you through the turbulence of the experience. As you ride the emotions, the energy of the melody has you moving to its rhythm.
The awakening of the opening meets Gemïny’s vocals that enhance the fusion of pop and RnB. His performance has a smooth feeling to it as it flows into the story of the lyrics. Through the verses, he dips into the emotions of unrealistic promises of star-crossed lovers and an almost youthful confusion over why things are not working. The uncertainty of the future is woven into the overwhelming inundation of emotion that hits you on the chorus. There is an understanding in the chorus that things can be great, but this is tempered with hesitation. It is a really engaging vocal performance that sweeps you up in the emotions of the story and makes it feel like it is happening to you.
Using a dynamic fusion melody and powerful vocals, Gemïny dives into the overwhelming and conflicting emotions of star-crossed lovers in ‘Hesitation’. From the first note, you can hear the fusion sound of his style as hints of rock guitars fly over funky beats, into RnB and pop vocals. His performance is powerful as he straps you into the rollercoaster of emotion that fuels the single.
