Matt McKnzi - Thank You [Music Review] May 17, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “A slow-tempoed jewel, ‘Thank You,’ from Matt McKnzi simply latches on to the psyche and refuses to let go. Soulful and emotional, this Indie Pop track definitely takes the listener for a melancholy ride, but the midst of this the track has a uplifting gratefulness that recharges the soul.Sit back and enjoy the emotions as the track washes over you.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Matt McKnzi - Dying Breed [Review] February 18, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Commercial, R&B Rating: 4 out of 5 “Some artists are able to distill events from their life into a track that spans but a handful of minutes and yet encapsulates something much bigger. This is what Matt McKnzi does on ‘Dying Breed,’ and here, the artist explains the intent behind the song far better than I could in a brief review. So says McKnzi ... Before I got sober I was self-destructive. I hated me- whole-heartedly believing I didn’t deserve love. I carried a TON of shame. Dying Breed is centered around that shame, and around our inability to let people in. At its core, the track is about owning your truth—no matter what that looks like, no matter what the consequences are.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
