Chivalry By JOIE GREY – A Modern Anthem Of Love
Joie Grey emerges as a breath of fresh air, charged with the electricity of something new and exciting. His latest offering, a two-track EP featuring two versions of the song Chivalry, is nothing short of a musical paradox, marrying the timeless virtue of gallantry with the pulsating beat of modern pop.
The West Coast version of Chivalry is a sun-drenched melody that feels like driving down the California coast with the top down. The acoustic guitar strums a rhythm that’s the heartbeat of the song, while the piano keys dance like light reflecting off the ocean waves. Synth sounds fill the air with an almost tangible brightness. But it’s not just the music that shines; Joie Grey’s lyrics are a beacon in the fog of modern dating, suggesting that chivalry isn’t a forgotten artefact but something that has evolved. It’s no longer just about grand gestures and knightly deeds but about authenticity, respect, and taking the time to truly know someone’s heart.
Then there’s the Chivalry East Coast version – the same song but felt as if through a different prism. This isn’t a mere remix; it’s a reimagination. It holds the essence of the original but is drenched in the hues of a different sunset. It’s the same story, the same journey through love’s intricate dance, but told from a street corner under the neon lights rather than a sun-kissed beach.
What’s truly captivating about this EP is not just the auditory journey Joie takes us on from coast to coast, but the lyrical depth he maintains throughout. Chivalry is a narrative, a modern-day ballad that speaks to the soul of anyone who’s swiped left on superficiality in search of something real. In a world of instant gratification, Joie Grey stands on the bold premise of patience, slow-burning romances, and love that’s allowed to bloom in its own time.
Choosing a favourite between the two is akin to choosing between sunrise and sunset – both are beautiful, both are part of the same day, yet each offers its own unique reflection of light.
So, listen to both versions, and don’t rush to decide which one wins your heart. After all, if chivalry teaches us anything, it’s that the best things in life, especially music, are worth the wait.
