As the vocals join the mix, the song takes on a distinct darkwave vibe, taking its inspiration from the gothic visuals of bands like Bauhaus while enabling the guitar work to take its own path. At times, the melodic guitar&nbsp;phrasing and artistic elements remind me of David Bowie&#8217;s most daring and art-rock-oriented work. The music has a dark and interesting flow throughout, combining gothic and glam influences to create a sound that feels strongly rooted in the 1980s. The vocals enhance the dark sounds, resulting in a dramatic atmosphere that is intriguing from beginning to end. At 1:58, a guitar solo appears, turning the song into a groove-oriented section. Rather than showing technical skills, the solo contributes to the song&#8217;s depth and drive, taking the listener through an ethereal section until the vocals return around the 2:25 mark to continue the story and maintain the track&#8217;s dark vibe. A major change comes about 2:51, when the song slows down and emphasises the percussion groove and guitar interaction. The guitars&nbsp;move in and out of the mix, creating an impression of space and atmosphere, before fading out, bringing the composition to a pleasing finale. Overall, &#8220;Shade Of Grey&#8221;&nbsp;incorporates alternative rock, darkwave, gothic rock, and glam influences into a beautiful package. With its melancholy atmosphere, strong sense of groove, and excellent guitar work, the song brings out the soul of classic dark alternative music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shade Of Gray\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/01QyyIC_YgE?start=3&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jasonmichaelmooremusic\/\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jasonmichaelmoore.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/jasonmichaelmoore.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jasonmichaelmoore\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jasonmichaelmoore<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Shade Of Grey&#8221; begins with a strong alternative rock basis before slowly moving to a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,543,5118,455],"class_list":["post-30668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-darkwave","tag-jason-michael-moore","tag-post-punk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30668"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30671,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30668\/revisions\/30671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
