New album "Here Comes The Good Part" out now!
Described by Rolling Stone magazine as “a glam rock triumph,” the multi-faceted rocker Gyasi ( Jah-See) delivers his second studio album, “Here Comes The Good Part,” a glittery and fun universe filled with infectious hooks and searing guitar riffs, alongside songs of self-transformation. Teaming up with co-producer Bobby Holland, Gyasi expands his sound, exploring a wider palette of musical ideas. Mostly recorded with his touring band, it also features guest appearances by drummer Daru Jones. “Here Comes The Good Part” is a bold exploration of theatrical rock n’ roll, through the lens of a small-town West Virginia kid seeking self-discovery.
“Reviving the true spirit of the glam style.” — TONE Scott/GOLDMINE
“Groove and fizz with all the melodic energy of the ‘70s great.” – SHINDIG!
“Sassy, stompy glam rock fun, dripping in sequins and colourful eyeshadow.” — Polly Glass/CLASSIC ROCK
Gyasi has been championed as reinventing glam rock for the modern age, which is difficult to argue with. However you want to label him, art rock, glam rock, avant-garde, his latest opus `Here Comes the Good Part` is immense, full of melodic tunes, foot stomping rock outs, meditative musings and wonderful singalongs and a must have.– MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC
The thing I dig about Gyasi is his ability to mix up the sound of his influences to great effect. 70’s glam rock is the order of the day, add to that a smattering of west coast 60’s psychedelia and a shot of Brit Pop for good measure, and we’ve got a good thing going. This is evident on the swaggering ‘Lightening’ and the more bluesy, high-energy stomp of ‘She Says’. An eagerly anticipated album from a rising star, and an essential purchase for 2025. – RPM ONLINE
Glam rock artist, Gyasi, has released a full length album that deserves all of your attention. “Here Comes The Good Part” is just that, the good part. The whole album is an ode to those who came before this Nashville based West Virginian. Bowie, T. Rex, Queen, et al. would all be proud to have Gyasi carry on the torch for this genre. And while those influences are all over this music, Gyasi has forged a path within music that is all their own. – BORN AND BRED MUSIC
Complementing the fast-paced music is the kind of vocal talent that taps into rock god status, providing you with all the assurance you need that Gyasi is the full package and rock and roll is alive and well as long as he is making it. – GLIDE MAGAZINE
A record packed with infectious hooks and bold sonic riffs. – THE FIRE NOTE
‘Rock n’ Roll Sword Fight’ is one of those live albums that captures lightning in a bottle. A band on fire, who sound tight and energised, but still raw and punky, and more importantly they have the songs to match. – RPM
Gyasi's single "All Messed Up (Medley)" featured on the Classic Rock’s Tracks of the Week list
Raised in the woods of West Virginia but destined for the stage, the leopard-printed, platform-booted Gyasi channels a hot mix of blues and glam rock on his latest single ‘All Messed Up (medley),’ its sass comes with rich, chunky guitars and the swagger of a Keith Richards-David Bowie collaboration. – Polly Glass / CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
If you like your rock big, bold, and flashy, Rock 'n' Roll Sword Fight will introduce you to your new favorite band. Don't forget your eye liner! – ALL MUSIC
Gyasi was raised in West Virginia, where his parents bought him a guitar from the local flea market. At the ripe age of six, he began learning how to play; on “23,” he shreds. His ripping guitar solo jolts the listener, adding a bit of overdrive to the eerie arrangement. Gyasi’s voice commands the track as much as his guitar. He sings with an authoritative yet playful tone, reminiscent of Mick Jagger on “Sympathy for the Devil.” – Daniel Mazzerina/LIGHTNING 100
Home run! Slam dunk! Touch down! Goal! ... I figured I wouldn't leave you in too much suspense—point blank, this album is fu**ing BRILLIANT! Alive Naturalsound Records has absolutely struck gold again by investing in, and having faith in Gyasi (Gyasi Heus) by releasing the artist's sophomore full-length studio effort, and what an absolutely smart choice it was. I would have to go as far as to say, that I would bet there were a lot of people waiting for someone to drop an album in this vein, of this caliber, since the 2003 release Get Born by the modern glam rockers from 'down under, 'Jet. – Tone Scott / GOLDMINE
CLASSIC ROCK : Tracks Of The Week
The legacies of Bowie and Bolan continue to reap new proteges, such as this Music City guy. Featuring Jack White band members and riff-loads of dirty 70s glitter, Baby Blue shares so much DNA with T.Rex’s 20th Century Boy they could have been separated at birth (the voice, the threads, the glammed up blues chords). It rocks like a monster, too, without taking itself too seriously (‘Got a rock n roll heart and babe you eat it with a spoon…what a loon’). Sassy, stompy glam rock fun, dripping in sequins and colourful eyeshadow. – Polly Glass
"If you`ve never heard of Gyasi before then his new Baby Blue EP will be a captivating introduction. This singer/guitarist/songwriter has the image, looks, licks, and moves, but also the talent." – Damian Sullivan / MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC
The lead track ("Baby Blue') is one Bolan boogie woogie hip shaker in spangly spandex and more make-up than Bowie wore. That riff is familiar but boy is it good, no it’s great. No scratch that, it’s fuckin great and the breakdown into the chorus is wonderful.
The other three tracks on offer are all live cuts that show the band have the chops when out on the road. ‘Cheap High’ is badd ass like when Aerosmith were out there kicking up a storm in the late ’70s an air of mystery but don’t fuck with them because these cats can play. The sleazier ‘Tongue Tied’ with its rolling beat is one monster sleazy tune before signing off with ‘Sugar Mama’ and all it’s bombast and glory. – Dom Daley / PRM Online
