The legendary rapper let the world know about the unexpected release through his social media, using a very simple line: “New new music… @phantogram X Big Boi… ‘Move in Silence’ now available on all platforms…”. The song drops without warning and showcases the dark, moody fusions of hip-hop and electronica that have been the hallmark of Big Grams collaborations. A short clip of the music gives the song’s haunting vibe along with the expressions “I’ve got a light to live by, a ready to line up” and “Tonight I don’t see with my heart in it,” reflecting a reflective atmosphere at the forefront of Phantogram’s sound.
Listeners were instantly reminded of the magic created by the Big Grams project, which was the collaboration of Big Boi and Phantogram as a supergroup that released a self-titled EP in 2015. The nostalgia and freshness in the atmosphere combined with the relationship between the Atlanta rap icon and the New York electronic rock trio became more powerful than ever, hence the new single.
The news was met with an avalanche of good-humoured responses from fans who were eagerly awaiting this return. One user cleverly played on Big Boi’s government name by saying “‘Hoe, don’t try it’ – Antwan Patton,” thus linking the rapper’s real name and his legendary boldness.
Another listener commented, “Ok, new Big Grams. Play it,” indicating the shared intention to play the song over and over again until it hits the charts.
The comments were numerous and many even claimed that one of the reasons for the upcoming joint music was that the new release was a sign.
A third response emphasized the excellent quality of the song and the demand for this genre today stating: “The sound 🔥🔥🔥🎧we need more of this.” This opinion reflected a common perception that the fantastic fusion of Big Boi’s smooth, fast playing and Phantogram’s dark, gritty rhythms fills a void.
In fact, this collaboration was the surprise gift for genre-bending music lovers. Big Boi, the other half of the pioneering duo OutKast, has always been the one leading the way in musical styles and trends while Phantogram has carved out a niche for itself with its melancholic yet danceable sound. “Move in Silence” is proof that their partnership continues to be very fruitful. The track also recalls Andre 3000’s influential legacy.
This new song not only satisfies the thirst of longtime Big Grams fans but also brings the duo’s special collaborative energy to the new audience. Remember the power of creativity when artists from different sound fields come together. The track is now available on all major digital platforms for streaming and thus, the innovative musical offering has finally arrived.
