T. Shan’s music presents a setting – a place and time – that takes the listener into a moment in the life of the artist. His work reflects the braggadocious highs and melancholic lows of urban life, yet never loses sight of where he and his family came from. Following the release of his newest single “Coast”, he projects a bright sound that will certainly intrigue your ears. Starting with upbeat instrumentation leading onto his catchy and smooth vocals he completes the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s accompanied by a fun and nostalgia-driven video, directed by T. Shan himself, truly captures the facade of romanticizing Los Angeles. On this single, the New York MC experiments with a sound influenced by 1960s California. Radiating with high energy throughout, the track combines a timeless-vintage-sounding production with T.Shan’s heavenly harmonies to create a bittersweet banger that leaves you aimlessly wandering around in the dog days of summer. T. Shan explains, “with ‘Coast,’ as soon as I heard the beat I saw a vision of idyllic 60s California, you know, Beach Boys stuff. That day, a song came on that dissed a lover for moving from LA to New York, and being a New Yorker, I got pretty indignant. A couple of my friends have idealized moving to the west coast as if that’d solve all their problems, and I wanted to depict how people move there with big expectations, thinking the sun and the waves and the glitz would help unlock something within themselves, but when they get there, they’re just as lost as before.” To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you dancing. Being just perfect for a day out on the beach or hanging with some friends. Go stream “Coast” and check out his discography which is filled with astounding music.
