Wisp is creating her own little subgenre of shoegaze, and we're here for it. "Nu-gaze" was previously meant for the early 00's shoegaze revival featuring bands like Silversun Pickups and The Stratford Four. Wisp creates "nü gaze," which combines nü metal with shoegaze, and is roughly ten times better than it has any right to be. Her latest single, "Get back to me," leans more into the dream pop side of the genre with just enough of an edge to fit into Wisp's normal style. This is such an interesting and unique blend of shoegaze, metal, pop, and dream pop that it sounds quite familiar and completely refreshing. "Get back to me" is a stunningly beautiful song that is instantly compelling.
Wisp says of her latest single:
"'Get back to me' represents the greed for chaos, even at the cost of yourself. It’s about staying in a place you know isn’t good for you, yet you’re in a seemingly unbreakable cycle of going back- which portrays desperation, recklessness and limerence.”
You can watch the video for "Get back to me" below. The single is out now on Interscope Records. For more on Wisp, check out the artist on Instagram and TikTok.
