Yellow Shoots' sultry funky psychedelic "Possessed" will quell those "riots in your mind"






































Possessed by Brooklyn based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalis and producer Yellow Shoots (the musical moniker for Greg Matthews) is a funky stew injected with stabs of guitar licks, high register sultry vocal come ons and delicious distorted bass lines wrapped around a beat. Matthews like to blend in tinges of psychedelia in his hip hop rooted vibe enhanced by analog tape delays and flangers filtering the guitar and vox. 

Press notes reveal:


The song enters vulnerable territory for Yellow Shoots aka Greg Matthews as he weaves a narrative of surrendering to the feelings of zero control and what he describes as the ‘riot in my mind.’ Matthews explained, “I wrote this song during a moment where I felt things spinning out and all I could do was succumb to it and trust that it would pass.” 
Possessed signals the first of single from his next EP coming in the Fall.
