Renowned electronic music producer Barclay Crenshaw, formerly known as Claude VonStroke, continues to explore new artistic avenues with his latest release, “Goodbye My Friends,” a heartfelt collaboration with his son, Jasper Crenshaw. This track, released on November 5, 2024, follows Barclay’s earlier family collaboration with his daughter Ella on “Tiramisu.”
“Goodbye My Friends” serves as an emotional farewell from Jasper to his high school friends as he transitions to the University of Southern California’s Pop Vocal Performance program. Jasper’s poignant vocals are complemented by Barclay’s signature production, blending emotive bass elements with heartfelt lyrics. This collaboration not only showcases the Crenshaw family’s musical talents but also highlights Barclay’s commitment to personal and artistic growth.
Barclay Crenshaw’s evolution from his Claude VonStroke persona to his current focus on bass, dub, jungle, funk, and hip-hop genres reflects his dedication to pushing creative boundaries. His recent works, including the “Open Channel” album released in March 2024, demonstrate his versatility and willingness to explore new musical landscapes.
“Goodbye My Friends” is available on major streaming platforms where listeners can experience this touching father-son collaboration. For a visual and auditory experience, the official music video is available on YouTube.
