LIST PICK
RYAN EGAN WHO IS IT?
Ryan Egan continues his questioning series of songs with ‘Who Is It?’, which follows equally quizzical tracks ‘Won’t You Be The One?’ and ‘Who’s Left Behind?’ As you already know, Egan is a singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in New York, and he’s had us hooked on his smooth contemporary soul and R&B sound for some time now. With ‘Who Is It?’, Egan once again delivers his easy-breezy sound with buoyant percussion, a slick groove and a joyous chorus that celebrates new-found freedom. As the artist puts it, this is “a song that both lyrically and sonically touches on a more carefree vision for our lives. How can we let go of our literal or imaginary chains and allow ourselves to evolve into the best versions of ourselves? It's about this journey towards personal freedom." The warm, textural quality of this track is reminiscent of Nick Hakim or JMSN. The listen will leave you happily asking ‘Who Is It?’ - Hannah Thacker
