SINGLE REVIEW: Joshua Grant - Gemini

Breakups rarely come with a clean emotional break, and Joshua Grant captures that complexity perfectly with ‘Gemini’. The song explores the idea that heartbreak doesn’t just hit once—it comes in waves, first when you logically accept it’s over, and then again when it finally sinks in on a deeper level. That emotional tug-of-war is reflected in the track’s structure, starting with a lo-fi indie intro that feels introspective and pensive before bursting into a full-speed, high-energy alt-rock anthem. It’s a song that shifts and swells, mirroring the unpredictable nature of post-breakup emotions.

The guitars follow this emotional arc, beginning with a subtle, understated presence before ramping up into something much heavier and more forceful. At times, the track carries elements of metalcore’s grandeur, with power surges and sharp shifts that add extra weight to its sound. Joshua’s vocals are the glue holding it all together—balancing introspection with an almost anthemic quality, he shifts between quieter, more vulnerable moments and full-force powerhouse delivery without ever losing the song’s emotional sincerity. The track never feels overproduced or needlessly dramatic—it’s just raw, open, and genuine.

What makes ‘Gemini’ so compelling is how it captures the messiness of heartbreak without losing its hook-driven appeal. The melodies are gripping, the shifts in energy feel natural, and it’s got that rare quality where it feels just as cathartic to listen to as it probably was to create. It’s an emotionally charged, well-crafted track that stays with you long after it ends.
