A.M. Sokoll details his stunning evolution in sound with "Say What You Really Mean Now" - Interview
A.M. Sokoll, the multifaceted artist hailing from Seattle, WA, unveils his latest masterpiece, "Say What You Really Mean Now." With a musical journey spanning a short yet impactful career, Sokoll has consistently proven his ability to evolve and transcend genre boundaries, inviting listeners on an emotional rollercoaster through his soul-baring compositions.
Sokoll's musical odyssey began with the release of his first EP, "Chateau," in 2020, followed by his debut album, "Wings on the Way Down," in 2021. However, it's with "Say What You Really Mean Now" that we witness the artist's most profound evolution in sound.
In the past, Sokoll humorously described his sound as "Elton John falling down the stairs," a playful quip that likely sparked laughter at parties. But beneath the jest lay a deeper truth - Sokoll's music is about flexing through the pain, about embracing vulnerability while keeping one's feet on the dance floor.
"Say What You Really Mean Now" is a stunning manifestation of this artistic evolution. The track's minimalistic approach marks a departure from Sokoll's previous work, yet it undeniably represents a leap forward in terms of emotional depth and musicality. The stripped-down arrangement places Sokoll's evocative vocals and lyrical prowess at the forefront, allowing listeners to connect with his raw vulnerability.
Sokoll's vulnerability extends beyond the music itself, as evidenced by our candid interview with the artist. He delves into his creative process, his experiences, and his commitment to pushing musical boundaries. It's a conversation that provides invaluable insight into the mind of an artist who's unafraid to confront his inner demons and share his struggles with the world.
What truly sets "Say What You Really Mean Now" apart is its ability to transcend genres effortlessly. Sokoll throws convention out the window, opting instead to blend diverse musical elements into a cohesive and emotionally charged narrative. The result is a song that defies easy categorization, embodying the spirit of a true musical chameleon.
As we look ahead, it's evident that A.M. Sokoll is on an exhilarating trajectory. He's currently working on his second album, slated for release in two parts in 2024. If "Say What You Really Mean Now" is any indication, listeners can expect an artistic journey that continues to break down barriers and challenge musical norms.
