Brighton-based artist Gizmo Varillas has just released his sensational new track, “Under The Weight”. This upbeat single features the talents of long-time collaborator Rob Lewis, who arranged the track, while the lyrics were co-written with renowned artist Gilles Peterson.
The fusion of Gizmo’s funky guitar rhythms and these collaborative efforts has resulted in a groovy, catchy tune that is sure to captivate listeners.
The track opens with a vibrant string crescendo, sets an exhilarating tone for the track, the powerful orchestration is elegantly complemented by Gizo’s signature funky rhythm guitar, instantly drawing listeners into a groovy soundscape infused with depth and emotion.
As the song unfolds, the infectious groove is underscored by a seductive bass line reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg, which adds rich lower-end earth to the driving drum. It’s the meticulous details that elevate this track to uniquely funky yet cinematic experience.
This summer, Gizmo has been busy performing for thousands across Europe, from the sun-drenched fields of Portugal to the lively streets of Germany and Poland. Most recently, he shared the stage with triple gold-selling Italo-Anglo singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti, marking his debut shows as a special guest.
He made waves in the music scene, as he made a viral debut on BBC 6 Music and a Top 30 airplay chart position for his first single, “Gotta Getaway”, which has amassed over 26,000 streams on Apple Music.
After the critical success of his third album, Out of the Darkness, four years ago, Gizmo has been on a prolific path, releasing new music in anticipation of his fourth album set to drop in early 2025.
