underscores turns detailed pop into a more personal statement
underscores is the project of April Harper Grey, an artist whose work grew from early bedroom production, YouTube experiments, and a long-running interest in commercial spaces like malls, hotels, and airports. The supplied interviews describe U as a self-contained pop statement that pulls together earlier phases of her sound while putting more weight on direct emotion and songwriting. Grey also says she wants to keep making music with fewer layers of camouflage and more of her own voice in front. The result is presented as a project that values precision, control, and feeling at the same time, with songs that aim to sound immediate while still reflecting the meticulous process behind them.
