Harry Hudson - 'Just Slide' (feat. Jaden Smith)
LA-based singer and songwriter Harry Hudson releases his smooth new single, ‘Just Slide’ feat. Jaden Smith.
’Just Slide’ sees Harry Hudson step away from his folk pop influences and embrace a more contemporary pop sound with a fresh, crisp, R&B ethos. I don’t usually blog about this kind of music, it’s more the kind of song that I would vibe to on the radio and if I didn’t already know the artist, wish I wasn’t driving so I could Shazam them and buy the track.
Produced by Mike Dean [Kanye West, JAY-Z, Travis Scott, 2Pac], Jess Jackson [Tyga, Jason Derulo, Chris Brown] and John Ho [Danity Kane, Kimbra] ‘Just Slide’ has seen a hell of a lot of love from some really exciting producers. There’s also a lot going on here that reminds me of what Khalid is doing, who guess what? Khalid is one of my favourite artists to drive to right now! The reason I’m so into Khalid and I love this Harry Hudson song feat. Jaden Smith is the way all vocalists have emotive voices which suit brooding, minimalistic soundscapes.
‘Just Slide’ goes deep without leaving mellow, melodic territory. Even when the fiercer guitars come in, the song is still very easy to listen to and feels incredibly sincere in every aspect of its execution. That’s a lovely testament to everyone involved.
Of the song, Harry says, “I wrote this song specifically for my ex knowing she still has feelings for me. But it’s really a song to let people know that if they truly feel something about someone just slide through and let them know. Life is too short to sit and wonder ‘what if’.’
