The UK-based artist, Steve Poet, lets it all hang out in "Let Go." The UK-based artist's signature style is characterized by his songs of heartbreak and second chances, set against a backdrop of UK hip-hop, pop rap, and conscious lyrics, all penned, produced, and performed by Steve.
The production is glossy yet intimate, and Steve's words resonate with resounding truth. At its heart is a melodic hook that keeps you wondering what's going to happen next, yet latches onto your memory regardless, while still maintaining an emotional weight.
Steve doesn't cover up the pain of a breakup, but instead turns it into a narrative listeners will empathize with. His voice is strong and fragile, juxtaposing the dual aspects of moving on, wanting to soothe his wounds, yet steadfast in his desire to grow. That's a rare thing to come across, and it makes the song feel both raw and universally relatable.
The song possesses the spirit of conscious hip-hop, moving beyond on-the-surface storylines to become more contemplative. The pop-rap provides just enough bounce and melody to keep it stuck in your head. The new one from Steve Poet is an anthem to recovery and strength, as well as the craft of turning personal stories into songs with resonance.
