Just watched the EVAN – Death of Me Track Sampler and honestly, I’m even more excited for the album now.
๐ง Track Sampler: https://youtu.be/LwFVLh5q33E?si=bpRjvPXp6si3hSGd
A few quick thoughts from the snippets:
Noise immediately stood out to me. It has that lo-fi R&B sound that reminds me of artists like SZA, Mk.gee, and Dijon.
Death of Me gives me the same adrenaline rush and synth-driven energy as The Weeknd’s Take My Breath. It honestly sounds like something that could’ve fit right into Dawn FM.
Immature feels very Paramore / Avril Lavigne-coded with its alternative rock sound.
Not Enough sounds so good too. The moody atmosphere and trap influences remind me a bit of Chase Atlantic.
Going Home feels like something wave to earth could releaseโdreamy, atmospheric, and perfect for late-night listening, though I have a feeling the song itself might be heartbreaking.
Twilight – Based on the preview, it feels bright and uplifting. When I hear it, I picture bright colors, sparkles.
What makes the project even more interesting is the genre diversity. According to the press release:
Not Enough โ Trap
Noise โ Lo-fi Pop R&B
Ride or Die โ Alternative Rock
Death of Me โ Intense Pop R&B
Twilight โ UK Garage-based Pop
Immature โ Alternative Rock
Overflow โ Indie Pop
Going Home โ Dream Pop
That’s a pretty broad musical spectrum for an 8-track album.
What I find especially commendable is that EVAN isn’t just performing these songs. He led the overall production for all 8 tracks and directly participated in writing and composing, including Death of Me and Twilight. For a solo project, that’s incredibly impressive and shows a clear artistic vision.
The album has already surpassed 344,000 Spotify pre-saves and is currently sitting at #2, which is amazing to see. It feels like more people are starting to recognize what he’s trying to build as a solo artist.
Personally, the sampler gave me confidence that this won’t just be a collection of songs but an album with its own identity. The influences are there, but the project still feels cohesive and uniquely EVAN.
Please support him, pre-save the album if you can, and tune in on September 7. I’m genuinely curious to hear the full versions of these tracks.
What are your thoughts on the sampler? Which song are you most excited for?
