Music Review: Pat Knox – Pat Knox EP


    Pat Knox - Pat Knox EP-2

    Pat Knox explores a lust for adventure coupled with a disdain for people who simply want to play with his time. The rapper-singer’s intimate self-titled EP confronts smooth, unflinching songs. Though he yearns to be alone, the need for simple human companionship is equally as present.

    Using punchy drums and hazy synths working together, Pat Knox switches between pitch registers to deliver captivating croons. The EP isn’t a hard-bodied project but it’s a self-determined showcase of the artist’s skills that prove to be just as striking.

    Pat Knox leads you through misty, evocative improvisations as he employs a different style on all of his tracks: sly, flirtatious raps on one and the next carrying hard hitting lyrics. And occasionally deviates into a soulful-R&B excursion on “Bet Not”, which sounds much classier, and a more compelling affair as he follows a guide into experimentation wilderness.

    Pat Knox - Pat Knox EP-3

    On the self-titled EP, Pat Knox follows through alertly, exploiting the many voices he has and adding textures and shading them to his liking, sometimes drawing scattered harmonic material together in catchy melodic scraps that remind us he’s a musician.

    He scouts the trail, finding long, thoughtful routes through both the harmonic landscape and exploiting his instrument’s broad expressive capacity, from glimmering hums to full-bodied sweeps, he best knows how to present different versions of himself.

    Some of the songs like “Business” and “Fake Wings” spell out the artist’s intense highs and emotional lows as he returns to vivid storytelling and delivers with attention to detail. With each song peeling back another layer of Pat Knox’s relationship thrills, it also becomes a reflection of his extensive growth as an artist and as a person who has experienced life’s many ups and downs.
