A soulful pop gem that’s ready to take you on an unforgettable journey. 

Hailing from New England and currently based in Dallas, Texas, Matt McKnzi is a singer-songwriter and producer whose distinctive sound “blurs the lines of pop, soul, and alternative R&B.” His unique creations defy the “conventional rules of the musical landscape” and are driven by “deep emotional attachments and profound spiritual revelations.” McKnzi’s music explores complex emotional themes, revealing his vulnerable side and offering listeners a new perspective on the sometimes bleak reality of the human experience. His latest release is the four-track EP titled “Ghost,” which includes the song “City People.”

With a delightful blend of electric guitars, infectious bass, and evocative piano, “City People” creates a pleasing sonic soundscape that complements the track’s insightful exploration. Lyrics like “Oh what a pretty show, They love to watch us on the video, Folks love to tell them though, Something that they both already know” and “Pity I know, pity I know, People don’t change, And the city don’t grow” present a thought-provoking examination of relationships and intimate connections. Infused with soul-stirring R&B elements and a powerful vocal performance, Matt McKnzi delivers a lush, transformative pop gem that invites listeners on an unforgettable journey. So, press play and immerse yourself in the complexity of “City People.”
