Gregory Douglass is a grippingly emotional singer-songwriter currently based in Palm Springs, CA. His roots as a Vermont-born artist inform the reflective, slow stories he tells as a musician. His new single “Bespoke” offers insight into the beauty and intensity of a queer relationship. It captures a bond that both inspires growth and reveals things about himself. “Bespoke” is an ode to the mysterious nature of our connections; how people often come into our lives for a reason.
“Bespoke” mesmerizes with heavy piano notes in contrast to soft, tender vocals from Douglass. As the song builds, visceral strings reveal themselves over the piano’s constant thread. Douglass sings, “Out of the anguish / A bespoke love language / Like a perfect crime.” Douglass writes about the power that relationships have to absolve shame, loneliness, and fear within ourselves.
“Bespoke” is the first glimpse we’ve gotten of Douglass’ highly anticipated upcoming album AMATEUR. He opened up about what can be expected of his forthcoming album.
“Life has a way of revealing you,” Douglass alludes. “Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, everything changes. The more life you live, the more you realize how little you actually understand. That feeling of always learning – and always getting back to the core of things – is what AMATEUR is about.”
Douglass has performed alongside artists including Grace Potter, Jason Mraz, Regina Spektor, Patty Griffin, and They Might Be Giants. “Bespoke” is a high point for Douglass as an artist as he fearlessly grapples with the depths of his soul.
