Jack Vinoy has officially unveiled his debut album 'RELAY,' a dynamic 15-track journey that defies genre boundaries and showcases his innovative approach to music. Released independently, 'RELAY' is the culmination of years of hard work and collaboration, featuring contributions from 28 artists who are part of Nashville's vibrant underground music scene.
From the outset, 'RELAY' offers a rich tapestry of sounds, weaving together slick R&B beats, warm indie tones, bouncy melodies, and forward-thinking production. Each track on the album radiates a woozy warmth feeling, making it the perfect soundtrack for creating new, lasting memories. The record's diverse influences and Vinoy's genre-blending style result in a cohesive yet eclectic collection of songs that highlight his versatility as an artist.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "VILLAGE," a heartfelt ode to the power of community. With gentle melodies and laid-back vocals, the song serves as a snapshot of the world Jack has built around him in Nashville. Speaking about the track, Jack explained,
"Lyrically, 'VILLAGE' feels like it’s the cornerstone of 'RELAY.' I’m singing all about the community I’m a part of in Nashville. The underground music scene here is incredible, and people are really supportive of each other. It’s unlike any other scene I’ve been a part of, and I genuinely feel like there’s space for all of us to succeed."
Featuring a wide array of sounds and moods, from the high-energy "ROTATE" to the soulful "LEMON & HONEY" featuring Brian Brown. "ROTATE," a potent burst of energy, stands out with its sample chops, big 808s, and beat switches, shifting from an alternative R&B vibe to a brash punk ending. This track, like many others on the album, is the result of teamwork, featuring contributions from Andrew Twining, Brent Hendrich, Buda, and background vocals from Noozi.
Other highlights include "NEW SUPPLY," a track that embodies optimism and positivity with smooth beats and playful lyrics. Jack describes "NEW SUPPLY" as a song about;
"making the most out of nothing, looking for beauty in everything, and not letting old shit bring you down."
In an era where the music industry is increasingly driven by digital interactions, 'RELAY' represents something different: the power of community and in-person connection. Jack Vinoy’s debut album is a celebration of the creative spirit that thrives in the company of like-minded and driven artists. As Jack himself puts it, "Sitting in a studio making music with your friends simply cannot be replicated by technology."
