"Move With Me" Locals Only Sound

Tuesday 28th July 2020

Release date: Out now Label: Universal

Grammy Award winning Toronto based-producer collective and prolific alt-pop duo, Locals Only Sound are not only developing new talent and bringing fresh perspectives and unique sounds to established artists. With focus on their appreciation for alt-electronic music and combing it with the abiding passion for R&B vocals paired with modern beats, Gray Hawken and Curtis Smith write, produce and record all their own music.

The first project, coming off their critically acclaimed debut OPUS 1 tape, which the pair describe as an extended EP - or more accurately a mixtape - the first instalment of Locals Only Sound’s partnership. Curtis says “the core of our style is from the alt-electronic, R&B world; because that’s the vibe we’re living now. But it also takes in influences from rock and the singer/songwriter genres,”, adding that he comes from the “classic rock world” with a more introspective singer/songwriter style. Gray comes from a classically trained musical family; growing up with the voice of his mother’s choral singing and surrounded by Jazz instruments in the house.

Fresh off a year of touring their critically acclaimed EP, OPUS 1 across Canada, US and the UK, the new single "Move With Me" is the first listen into their anticipated forthcoming debut album, due out 2020.
