Erik Evy delivers introspective and emotive new single, Quarter-Life Crisis

Setting the tone with an immersive synth and pitched up vocals, Erik Evy opens his latest single Quarter Life Crisis with the vulnerable lyrics, “I can’t believe it’s over now…”

As the song expands, we experience an alternative R&B meets Hip-Hop hybrid soundscape as Erik delivers introspection about his coming of age and shares his wisdom, perspective on the human condition, themes of loss of friendships and the juxtaposition of posing online whilst maintaining a private life.

With a flow not dissimilar from early Kanye West, Erik cites Mac Miller, J Cole and Andre 3k as influences, although it is clear that the rising artist is creating a soundscape of his own. Going into detail for the inspiration of the production, Erik says, “Musically, I believe this beat is influenced by Drake. Especially with the vocal sample as the main anchor of the beat. I wanted to come on this track with confidence I have not articulated yet.”

Elaborating on the meaning of song, Erik confesses, “Quarter-Life Crisis is about turning 25 years of age. We are all going in different directions in life. People move away, some start families, others are still searching for their passions. This is a motivational track to chase your dreams.”

With reference to his purpose as an artist, Erik simply says, “I am trying to capture every emotion of what it means to be a human being. I want to be diverse in my music sound, and the more I expose different layers about myself, the more room I will have to create.”
