U-KNOW is back with his first full-length album -I-KNOW’. Let’s take a closer look!
I-KNOW
We start off with ‘Set in Stone’ which is an energetic pop track that will have you vibing from the very first chorus. The synth beat is popping and I like it a lot!
After that comes the first of two title tracks ‘Body Languag’. This was a pre-released song that came out a couple of weeks ago.
‘Stretch’ is the second title track. It’s a pop number with a strong electronic sound. I honestly am obsessed with this. I kind of love the dichotomy between the harsh beats and the softer vocals during the verses. The chorus is absolutely sickening! Fantastic.
Next up is ‘Spotlight2’ which is a continuation of the single ‘Spotlight’ which came out on his third mini-album about two years ago. “I’ll be the spotlight shining by your side, so you just have to shine.”
KAI is a feature on the following track ‘Waterfalls’ which brings us some 2000s R&B goodness. I liked this part in the album introduction “The lyrics contain the mature heart of not resenting the separation because fate cannot be forced, but waiting for the moment when they will meet again someday.”
‘Leader’ comes in with the funk! Get grooving with this one as the bass is going places. It’s a fun vibe, with funny lyrics and a playful tone.
Next up is ‘Premium’ featuring MINNIE. This song is a combo with the song ‘Waterfalls’ with the KAI feature. They’re both from different perspectives of the same releationship. It’s a retro pop track with a hella cool bass.
‘Fever’ is an R&B pop track with a cool bass line and a funky hook. This is a great listen and the vocal layering shines. The little ‘ah’s are placed so well. It’s literal ear candy.
The track ‘Let You Go’ brings us some Afrobeats with a pop mix. It’s a really nice listen.
The closing track is ‘Take-off (26)’. This is a new jack swing track with a 90s vibe that will have all my 90s babies vibe! It’s a fun track that begs to play full volume in your car. Let’s go!
