#TBT || GRiZ – Fall In Love Too Fast

For this week’s Throwback Thursday, let’s “Fall In Love Too Fast” with one of our favorite artists, GRiZ.

It was the year 2012 when my friend Brad was helping me install a sound system in my car and he had me listen to “Where’s the Love” by GRiZ. When I heard the song, I was melting into my seat and flying in the sky like the couple on the album cover. That was the first time I was introduced to GRiZ and I fell in love way too fast! While that’s not the subject for this week’s Throwback Thursday, it got me binge-listening to the rest his Mad Liberation album. By the time I got to track eight, “Fall In Love Too Fast”, I was already madly in love with his music.

I’m a sucker for live instruments coming from a musical background myself. When you combine that with funky, jazzy electronic music, it’s almost guaranteed that I will like it. Grant Kwiecinski, also known as GRiZ, is known for playing live saxophone while he DJs on stage. With that, he creates oh-so-funky electro-soul, hip-hop, jazzy vibes, and bass-heavy beats. Not to mention that my father plays the saxophone, so I have a special connection with that instrument and jazz music in general. More than that though, there’s something truly unique about GRiZ’s sound.

The track starts off with a sample from Chet Baker’s “I Fall In Love Too Easily” paired with jazzy piano and a drum beat that leaves you bobbing your head to the song. Dan Hacker, better known as Muzzy Bearr, also provided his talents with live soulful guitar notes to add a bit of a blues feel. It’s all around just a beautiful track, how can you not fall in love?

GRiZ – “Fall In Love Too Fast” Lyrics:

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
‘Cause I’ve been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
