The new single from Carpetman, "You Will Never Know It," is an exploration of the self, independence, and the unwavering beat of personal freedom. Serving a scorching hot take as creatively dynamic and forward-thinking as you have come to expect from the modernist one-man outfit, English-speaking solo artist and visionary of Electronica and alternative music charts new territory by fusing Pop Rap, Neo-Soul, and Electronica, sounding simultaneously ahead of his time yet emotionally raw.
"You Will Never Know It" sets a note of adventure and the excitement of throwing yourself headfirst into a romantic flirtation while still protecting your side of independence. It's that push-pull between connection and a longing for individuality that makes the track resonate so deeply. The song has a unique sound, combining the smooth aspects of Neo-Soul with the jagged edges of Pop Rap and an ambient touch of Electronica. Each one is expertly designed and assembled, all the facets on full display, as those magnificent big bright riffs have been nowhere to be found, Carpetman proving himself to be as deft a hand as not only a player and singer but as a songwriter and a producer.
His voice is both confessional and commanding, grabbing you and leading you through a story that manages to be both familiar and universal at the same time. Without being heavy-handed, "You Will Never Know It" also explores themes of self-awareness and the improbability of being fully understood by others. It's a melancholy testament to the fact that, however close we get, parts of us will forever be ignored, shrouded in mystery, all our own. Carpetman conveys this feeling with effortless eloquence, translating it into a musical odyssey.
For a songwriter, Carpetman's ability to seamlessly merge genres and emotions is impressive. His modern perspective doesn't adhere to the walls of electronic and alternative music but spills over into something all his own. "You Will Never Know It" is a song you feel, under the skin, in the bones and the marrow, that stays with you long. This latest release from Carpetman solidifies his status as a fearless, honest, and unafraid artist to follow, one who takes his music in whatever direction it desires.
