Glock (Original Single)
3 min readAug 21, 2023
The rock and rap communities received an electrifying merge with the recent release of “Glock” by Love Ghost featuring Mexican rapper Dan Garcia. Clocking in at just under two minutes, the single fuses Latin trap stylings with metalcore magnitude for a confrontational listen that breaks the mold of mainstream hits. With its frenetic pace, raw vocals, and the boundary-pushing blend of genres, “Glock” proves Love Ghost continues pushing creative boundaries with each new drop.
From the opening beat, “Glock” grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let up. Dan Garcia lays down his known gritty Latin flow at breakneck speed over driving drums and shredding guitar riffs. But what truly stands out is frontman Finnegan Bell’s emotive vocal performance. His shouts and screams reverberate with palpable angst and emotion, adding a dramatic flair that elevates the potency. Bell proves himself a theatrical vocalist, able to capture the essence of metalcore at an almost operatic level. His vocals glide and slide seamlessly alongside Garcia’s rapid-fire rhymes in a melodic interplay that keeps the energy sky-high.
The instrumental track backing this vocal tour de force is equally impressive. Chunky guitar rhythms and solos pulsate below the vocals, wielding amazing technical skill. Every element works in supreme tandem to craft an irresistibly hooky melody drenched in raw, frenetic energy from start to finish. It’s no surprise the tune has already garnered plenty of views since its release a few days ago — its fusion of genres injects an unfettered adrenaline rush, unlike most mainstream singles.
Behind this innovative collaboration is Love Ghost frontman Finnegan Bell, who has been actively working with Latin artists throughout Mexico in recent months. In addition to recruiting Garcia for “Glock,” Bell has also written and recorded acts like Ritorukai, Go Golden Junk, Phyzh Eye, Jozue, Young Dupe, and Blnko. Producers on these sessions have included Shantra of Mexico’s Santa Fe Klan as well as Latin Grammy nominee BrunOG.
Bell and Love Ghost clearly aim to push creative borders with every release. Beyond “Glock,” they also have upcoming collaborations like “Dopeman” featuring Ghanaian afrobeat star Camidoh and “Do You Like Me Now” paired with nu-metal icon Cinnamon Babe. It’s this ceaseless experimentation and risk-taking that has earned Love Ghost widespread acclaim in alternative scenes worldwide.
