“Say Less” is the sound of an artist teetering on the brink of a new chapter, and The Venice Kid sounds like he knows exactly who he is and where he wants to be. It’s rooted in hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, and trap, but there’s a definite feeling of resurgence, a conscious recalibration of energy that translates into growth.
“Say Less” announces itself as a kind of statement piece, both in delivery and mood, with the feeling that here is an artist who knows exactly what he wants to say and what stands on its own. The production is contemporary and open, allowing The Venice Kid’s melodic flow to slide neatly while still landing firmly.
It’s a combination of confidence and self-control, and every piece of it feels carefully measured. The song is fun and has a curious edge, and The Venice Kid leans right into personal growth, allowing his voice and lyrics to illustrate how he has matured, developed self-awareness, and gained momentum.
Born and raised in Venice Beach, California, The Venice Kid makes music using his environment. There is a laid-back coolness and ambition that give the tone an authentic feel. “Say Less” is, in the end, a present to the fans and a way to reach new listeners. It signals a return based on change, and The Venice Kid shows that sometimes the best message isn’t saying more but knowing just what not to say.
