Rising artist Kevin Hackett has our full attention with his new project Awake After Midnight.
While it's only three songs, the newly released EP showcases a multi-hyphenate who is unstoppable at 22. A singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, director designer and photographer, among other, Hackett's new project follows his 2019 debut record Youth, with this new effort anchored by the standout cut "After."
The new EP draws inspiration from shoegaze and alternative favorites such as M83, Phoebe Bridgers and The 1975, while it also has flares of the pop-punk of the early 2000's. The three songs are reflective of highs and lows, love and laughter, difficult conversations and late-night drives.
