Introduced by a playful, retro-sounding piano sample, ‘Go Grandma’ soon transforms into an uplifting, groovy banger, fiercely driven by Henny Holyfield’s charming rap flow and intriguing delivery. A slice of blissful commercial pop, the record follows the best mainstream stylings yet manages to remain unique and quirky. A potential radio hit!
Penned by Holyfield, the track also enlists the help of fellow artist Aaron Le, gifting the chorus his luscious and evocative vocals (quite reminiscent of Justin Bieber, in fact). The two American talents work very well together, with their tones perfectly complementing each other. Henny has a deeper, darker tone, while Le’s is certainly friendlier and more vibrant.
‘Go Grandma’ contains an unusual theme for a pop song. As the title implies, it’s dedicated to Holyfield’s grandma, thanking her for her support and learning experiences. As the Sacramento-based rapper explains: “It’s about the love I have for my grandmother and some of the things we do and have been through together. It’s a tribute to her”.
