The first single off Oil Panic is the funktronica of Grønn Extra, a heavy hitter that is sure to stick with you after your first listen. Inspired by childhood memories of electro and thriving 80s urban pop culture, Torgny says “with Grønn Extra, it seemed like the only way forward was to acknowledge the past.” Reminiscent of Prince’s Lady Cab Driver and Chromeo’s Needy Girl, Torgny’s powerful vocals expertly layer atop the original melody and meticulously crafted rhythms to set this song in a category all its own.
Torgny has this late 1990’s – early 2000’s feel to their song above Gr0nn Extra. It made me remember things like the “Axel F Theme” from Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy. It’s nice to hear music with influences from the past and not just literally doing a cover, though if done right I love covers to. Check Torgny out I above, I believe you will like the sound.
