KNOE - MS_001

KNOE takes us back to the sexy warmth of summer nights with his new single ‘Manhattan Summer’, a track that captures the rough sophistication of love in the queen of metropolis.

Once more, KNOE unfolds his seemingly effortless ability to transport the listener to ‘there and then’, with an element of Jazzy rap that makes this track ever so sensual. KNOE’s desire is for us “to feel the music.”

The immediate resonance with this tune is undeniable, and glancing back at that summer love we once had is hard to avoid. KNOE manages to accurately depict what a summer love feels like – “An overwhelming sense of desperation, a hope that something will spark an opportunity and live in this dream forever. Hanging on the thread of hope is dangerous and addictive and desperation makes you do silly things.”

Inspiration for the track goes back to his times in NYC, more specifically in, of course, Manhattan. KNOE holds our hand and takes us for a walk through a romantic period full of lust and desire, while drawing a parallel between falling head over heels for someone and for a temperamental scene like Manhattan. “In reminiscence of that summer, I noticed a crazy similarity between the way I felt for a woman and the way I felt for the city.” The independent artist works alongside Paloma again, to bring those hot late evenings in the city to life.

With this new release, KNOE keeps showing what a prolific character he has, dropping a new gem after the release of his EP ‘Reasons’ in 2019 and latest single ‘Down’. His unique style has brought together a loyal audience that keeps growing with every beat.

Therefore I’ve got tracks of pure anger against people, I’ve got tracks of revolution, and then I’ve got tracks of positive music as well, my mental peace is more important than peoples perception of the category I should be boxed in,”

Drawing you in with its smooth and sensual vibe, KNOE returns with ‘Down,’ true to its title, a letter to the lost, a message to the listener and a purge of sadness.

Opening with a soft, beautiful and affecting tempo, ‘Down’ stemmed from a personal reminiscence of a good friend of KNOE who sadly passed from accidental death.

A sharp contrast to KNOE’s usually vicious lyricism, the single is an introspective analysis of the loneliness you feel when you’re drowning in your own thoughts. The rapper goes on to say that his friend’s death brought mix emotions filled with regret, hopelessness and in the end an epiphany.

“The passing of people close to you, whilst battling with my own dark thoughts pushed me in a place, that to me is beautiful, of honesty and real-self,”

“I want people to feel pain and experience happiness – a confusing mix of emotions that I think truly embodies how one feels when they are down. I want my lyrics to make you think and the music to make you smile,”

Over a jazzy vibe, energised by the electric saxophone and thumping subase, KNOE bares an emotionally pure yet metaphorically strong song that safely carries the usual smoothness that we have grown to expect from the rapper.

Following the release of his critically acclaimed EP ‘Reasons’ and a 13 show Australian tour with hip hop royalty Drapht in late 2019, Perth rapper KNOE is back with his first single of 2020. The single sets the tone of his upcoming EP ‘Burgundy Love’ which is set to drop in April. The EP will bring forth a statement of intent as KNOE breaks through as an artist who consistently etches his name on the wall of music fame.
