Con The Artist has today released his new EP titled ‘Best Days’ via Wax Records. Starting off, like a bomb of music exploded in your face, the party gets started with a hook and a smile filled with sonic joy and original brilliance.
The one thing that sticks out, to me, after that initial listen, is that there is a solid set of songs in this EP. I like each one for a different yet relevant reason. One for the hook, one for the feeling, one for the groove, and so on. And, while ‘Bad Guy’ obviously slows the listener down for an anti-climatic end, it’s so that you can leave the music feeling the gamut of emotions served with that special groove sauce and wanting to come here again.
“This EP let me lay it all out there, showing every facet of what I love about music. It kicks off with an explosion of sound — distortion dialed up to eleven, vocals saturated and gritty, and drums that hit like a storm. From there, things slide effortlessly into hip-hop grooves and sampled guitar riffs, while the lyrics dig deep. The record ends with the most vulnerable I’ve ever been, revealing dark secrets from my past.”
