"NEW SHOES" FROM JAMES MANTIS IS HIGH-ENERGY, PSYCHEDELIC, AND FULL OF ATTITUDE.

Updated: Aug 4, 2022

LA native James Mantis returns to your ears with a brand new single titled "NEW SHOES" that dropped today. The artist's catalogue is already full of gold, and this track surely added some weight. Check it.



Hey. Happy Friday. Especially Happy Friday because James Mantis released a new track for all of us to devour. We must have been good boys and girls and non-gender conforming humans this week. “NEW SHOES”, which dropped today, features punchy, hip-hop inspired drums, funky, psychedelic synths, and an audacious vocal. Produced by Christian Lum, Mantis’s regular collaborator, the track feels reminiscent of N.E.R.D with added experimental elements.


The track, which details the pleasures of his newfound and well-deserved success, has an undeniable groove straight from the jump. The drums will trigger involuntary head bobs, but James’s vocal sits perfectly on the beat, keeping the listener centered. The psychedelic elements keep our ears suspended and enthralled in the ever-warping textures, and the chorus brings us to the perfect culmination of intensity. Truly, another masterpiece from Los Angeles based mega-talent James Mantis. At my recommendation, this track sounds perfect at full volume, windows down, driving down the streets of Los Angeles with that natural pay-day glow.
