With his jazzy neo-pop, RnB-gilded sonic signature and his ability to imagine what it would be like if titans were conduits of soulfully feverish passion instead of muscle-wrought aggression, Max Goldhirsch is set to shake up rhythm and blues in a way that feels way overdue. Forget the neon-washed, oversaturated trend of The Weeknd and his army of assimilators; Max Goldhirsch is taking it right back to the old-school, allowing listeners in a mostly loveless era of ever-increasing digital dating jargon a taste of what it was like to be someone’s sweetheart in the 50s.
The atmosphere in his seminal upcoming single, Cheetah Print Blues, is thick with electricity, emboldened by bluesy grooves that hit all the right swanky, seductive spots as Max Goldhirsch’s vocals refuse to pour soul through a façade. The unique inflections in his voice give the single from his upcoming album an affecting accessibility that’s strong enough to make you forget your crush and fixate over his fiery proclamations of passion instead.
The independent Buffalo, NY singer-songwriter and guitarist has been writing and releasing music since he was 14, and now, while studying music education at the University of Hartford, he’s ready to push his jazz-pop/RnB vision further. Fans of Leon Bridges, Laufey, Bruno Major and early Amy Winehouse will want to keep Goldhirsch on their radar.
