Grey Gersten tells The Fader about the inspiration behind the video and song: "You Can't Stop is a post gender love song. America is beginning to recognize that love is beyond anyone's control. We're moving through a crumbling landscape, away from the mechanical romance dance, into something free" Gersten's most recent release prior to Naked Light was an EP under the moniker Eternal Lips featuring guest vocals from Sharon Van Etten and TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone. The EP received wide critical acclaim, Rolling Stone wrote "Gersten bends and contorts the idea of pop music, channeling his experimental music background into dreamy indie-pop." Accompanied by co-producer Shahzad Ismaily on Naked Light, Gersten dismantles artifice and creates an intimate space where the power of vulnerability is revealed. "I didn't think about what's cool or what anyone would think," says Gersten. "I just focused on being emotionally present. The real impact of music comes from feelings. If you suspend self judgement, you create the opportunity for something universal to resound." Naked Light burns with the rawness of Neil Young and glows with the otherworldliness of Brian Eno.Grey Gersten Links
