Grey Daze: "The Phoenix" Out Now!

[JZLP-Benningstrong]

Statement by Esjay Jones (Producer of The Phoenix)

 

"IT’S HERE ‼️‼️‼️

 

We started writing “The Phoenix” two years ago with the vision to fulfill the dream that @chesterbe had for @greydazeofficial : A HARD ROCK ALBUM THAT FELT LIKE A BAND 🔥

 

This album was a heavy lift emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Working on completely new versions of each song and in isolation with Chesters vocals for 365 days straight was unnerving : the weight on my shoulders to give Chester, the band, his family, the girls and the fans exactly the love and respect that Chester deserved felt crippling… BUT I truly believe in my heart that we accomplished more than what we set out to achieve 🫶

 

Thank you @sean_dowdell @greysquirrel65 @cristindavisofficial for your unwavering trust in me.

 

NOW GO LISTEN TO “HOLE” featuring Lily and Lila Bennington - the girls absolutely rocked it @talinda320 😻😻😻

Love the album! My fav is Holding You I guess, but Spin and Believe me are good contenders. Solid record. The only weird things are Hole intro and the slowed down Anything Anything, kinda weird. Verdict 8,5/10

Album is not bad, but I'm really sad they changed Hole ... 😭

The Instagram version was absolute fire. This version sounds ... meh.

The 2018 version sounded awesome I agree. This version is inferior but still pretty good IMO. The real problem is that weird intro...

In my opinion, I think that the "lullaby intro" is an interesting yet slightly creepy twist to this new version of "Hole".

Yeah i agree that the idea was cool but i’m glad that I’m not the only one who found it slightly creepy. First time I played the song I was like “what’s that ? James Wan’s Dead Silence soundtrack?”
