As he hits Vancouver and drops his latest track “Not The One”, we catch up with the Nashville golden-voiced Best Fit fave at the Vogue Theatre.
“Not The One” and “Blood on the Surface” both continue in the tradition of Ekko’s quality songwriterly pop sound, but find their place through retro nods to anthemic songs of the ‘80s and early ‘90s.
Ekko has spoken about a need to get back to his roots with the new record. “For some people the new album will probably seem like a departure, sonically, but I just see it as making the album I was always meant to make. It’s grittier, more DIY, but still accessible—and at the end of the day, I know the new album is more definitive of who I am as an artist.”
