Kneill is a R&B/Soul artist and singer-songwriter. His heartful renditions of the human experience is lofty with dreamy antics like nostalgia, romance, sentiment, and blues. The artist released his self-titled debut EP. Carrying five tracks, this collection perfectly stipulates the creativity and beauty of the artist’s work. With ‘Be Someone’, Kneill lays out a rustic palette with retro funk grooves, reggae accents, neo-soul, and stringing acoustics. It is reminiscent of a contemporary blend of artistic styles of Michael Kiwanuka, Bill Withers, Leon Bridges, and Nick Drake. Listen Now!
The track opens with glazed acoustics. They are mellifluous carriers of Kneill’s husky vocal blues. The magic is cultivated with shimmering synths, wispy harmonies, and a reggae beat cycle. At its core essence, there’s an inarticulate feeling that breathes life into the sonic ecosystem. It’s an intimate emotion, powerful with vulnerability. The artist illustrates it elegantly by composing around it and allowing his listeners to seek it out.
Kneill debuted late last year with his single, ‘Findings of a Blind Man’, introducing his stylistic preference which is brought forward to this EP as well. His simplicity is dedicated to uncovering wisdom with humility and candor.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
