In the meantime, Glide is excited to offer an exclusive premiere of their new song “Better Left Unsaid,” which finds the group collaborating with Bobby Hustle. “Better Left Unsaid” is a song about the importance of being tenacious, and showing that actions speak much louder than words. This is set to a soundtrack of that includes bright and soulful brass and saxophone, a slinky organ, and a laid back reggae groove to make for a tune that feels sunny and optimistic. In a world full of hype and illusion, this song inspires to look beyond the obstacles in life and to put your best foot forward. During this time when the world can often feel hopeless, this song is like jumping into a cool body of water and basking in the sunshine.
The group shares the inspiration behind the song:
“This song was created in a very cool and original way, much different than our typical approach. The lyrics were written for this song and passed over to Eric Hirschhorn as an A cappella. Eric crafted the amazing arrangements underneath lyrics and melodies that were already formed.”
