Genre-bending alternative artist grandma has returned with his new single, “God Hired You To Be My Baby” today. The guitar-driven anthem is taken from grandma’s eagerly anticipated EP, Angelhood, out August 12th. Watch an accompanying music video now below.
“‘God Hired You To Be My Baby’ channels maximalist nineties pop to tell the tale of a person who views their relationship as a divine paid gig,” says grandma. “Leaning into the themes of intimacy and the machine with lines like ‘You got shadow banned for acting how you act on live,’ although it is overtly vapid, the song aims to capture the idea that there is labor to love.”
Known throughout Atlanta’s pop and hip-hop scenes for his skills as a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, programmer, arranger, and visual artist, grandma has received a wide range of media attention, with Pigeons & Planes naming him “Best New Artist of the Month” and A1234 declaring, “grandma, I have no doubt, will soon be the soundtrack to many people’s adolescence as his genre-defying talent speaks to a whole new generation of music lovers.” Now grandma is poised to push his distinctive brand of personal pop ever higher, reaching heavenward with a one-of-a-kind sound and vision unlike any other. Expect more music from this new chapter soon.
