ZACHARY KNOWLES TENDENCY TO BE A LONER

Alongside the announcement of his debut album, tendency to be a loner, newcomer Zachary Knowles has dropped the tender title track. “I’ve always had a hard time expressing myself, so music, and especially this song, has allowed me to do that,” he explains. “This album is about my introverted nature. I wanted to capture what my day-to-day looks like as far as emotions go.” The track’s delicacy and emotion perfectly capture this introverted feeling, but still manages to burst into huge, uplifting melodies that are almost impossible to forget. The simplistic video shows Knowles singing along to his track while driving through an almost empty landscape. -Dan Peeke
