kevspeakstruth has shared a new EP, titled K.E.V. K.E.V. further showcases his signature sound, which finds a balance between his roots in both NYC and Florida- with southern-tinged percussion and rhythms merging with Kev’s East Coast-influenced delivery and lyricism. Like much of his output, it finds him unwilling to be placed in a box, while he also wears his heart on his sleeve across the EP’s five tracks. Discussing topics like trying to find direction in your mid-late 20’s, staying true to your grind, and more, Kev wastes no time in delving deeper into matters that directly impact listeners.
“Imposter Syndrome” poignantly discusses self-doubt atop an emotive, vibrant instrumental, contrasted by the ominous, darkly jazzy sound of follow-up track “Clover”. He also delves engagingly into drill on the energizing “Hermanos” and even left-field electronic on closer “Siamese”, as K.E.V. takes on an identity of its own with its diverse soundscape, paired with kevspeakstruth’s heartfelt introspection. Give a listen to K.E.V. here now.
