Mass Mix: Chris Walton, Kaiti Jones And Other Artists Boston Has On Heavy Rotation May 11, 2021 Chris Walton, “Whatcha Say” Since Chris Walton, the Boston-based singer, songwriter, and producer recorded an exclusive at-home performance with WERS 88.9FM this past month, and I've been listening to his newest EP, Fade, on repeat. The second track on his EP, "Whatcha Say," blends neo-soul, jazz, and funk with DIY and lo-fi effects to tell the story of a tumultuous breakup: "It's always fun and games 'till you're the one to blame / It's all in what you say and what you don't." As layers of complex percussion, smooth, soulful keys, and jazz-influenced guitar rhythms build, Walton belts the end of the chorus, and the song erupts into a fuzzy, Hendrix-inspired guitar solo. "Whatcha Say" is a fantastic track about breakups on its own, but it sounds even better if you listen to the entire three-part, genre-bending love story told on Chris Walton's EP. -
