I still have “I don’t wanna play this game/I’ll just stay in my room” hooked to the inner workings of my brain like surging life support. Ekoh’s electrifying and dark writing style hooks listeners within seconds, which keeps them hitting replay for months at a time. “I don’t get involved/Hard to judge if you let ’em fall.” Lyrics that have never stoked the flames harder. But, Ekoh’s “FENTANYL” shines a light on the inner struggles of drug use and being around those also trying to escape their demons. Artists nowadays love to tip-toe around the problems plaguing the world and the heavy atmosphere we live in today. Funnily enough, a reality that came as a breath of fresh air.
No bullshitting, no false hopes, just the plain ugly truth. “FENTANYL,” aside from “Where’d You Go,” was my first taste of the raw tension that came with an Ekoh track. A collection of eleven tracks that tells the stories of addiction, depression, loss of love, and a fragile heart beating along the broken path.īut, is Ekoh’s LOOK WHAT YOU MADE a lightning strike in the dark void of the desert sun? Or does this mark Ekoh’s musical takeover, a journey filled with ups and down along the horizon? Let’s find out. With the release of a few more singles since then, Ekoh has unleashed his studio album, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE. This obsession is no surprise if you read my review of the up-and-coming artist’s single, “21ST CENTURY MELTDOWN,” back in May. Ever since I first heard Ekoh’s remix of the hard-hitting Fort Minor track, “Where’d You Go,” on Instagram, I’ve been obsessed with each new release.
