Toronto, ON-based singer-songwriter/ producer, Chris Grey has released a music video for his new R&B/ pop single, “Seamless”.
The video, which was also directed by Grey, is a Hollywood-inspired action drama in which he believes he has pulled off the perfect crime, only to find his best-laid plans coming undone.
Innocuously assuming the role of entertainer during an upper-class dinner party, Grey and his accomplice execute a daring heist before the video concludes with a thrilling twist.
The impetus for the sultry track came from a simple conversation between Grey and his girlfriend, recording artist Allegra Jordyn, who co-stars in the video with him.
“Allegra and I had recently crossed the line between being friends and co-writers to dating,” Chris explains. “We were just musing about being seamless together and how easily we had moved from working together to being a couple. All of a sudden she started singing ‘with you it’s just seamless’ and immediately realized we had the making of a cool song. We got out of bed and instantly started bouncing off rhymes and writing the song. The song came together seamlessly!”
Opening with an alluring violin passage, Grey’s velvety-smooth falsetto vocals pair perfectly with the atmospheric production of the song. The track builds up to an unexpected finale — with Chris’ vocals on the bridge eventually morphing into a punchy, guitar-riff-driven ending performed by Oscar Rangel, former live bassist for the iconic Canadian metal band Annihilator and current guitarist for symphonic metal band Operus.
Chris recently unveiled an exclusive performance of “Seamless” as part of The Recording Academy’s Press Play At Home performance series on Grammy.com. Watch it HERE.
Grey is one of only a small handful of Canadian artists who have been invited to be part of The Recording Academy’s Press Play At Home performance series since its inception in 2018.
