The soul-stirring odyssey of Eddie Witz has arrived to unveil his debut album ‘I Am What I Am’. Inviting listeners to explore the depths of human emotion, this first record it’s clear that Witz has poured his heart and soul into this project, crafting a collection of songs that are as introspective as they are uplifting.
Musically, the EP is a rich tapestry of influences, blending world music, folk, Americana, pop, and reggae into something truly unique. Opened up by ‘My Island’ and ‘Jamaica Time’, two tracks basking in sunlight, where the rhythms of life slow down just enough to let you savour the moment. These songs are a celebration of simplicity and joy, offering a perfect contrast to the heavier themes explored in other parts of the EP.
The title track follows, with its Reggae groove but darker melodies and Witz’s emotive vocals and haunting melodies draw you in, making you feel every ounce of the pain and resilience that lies at the core of the track. It unleashes into a grander pop chorus full of allure. The slower more ballad track ‘The One That Got Away’ and lead single, ‘In Too Deep’, close off the album.
This is an artist who has faced his own demons and come out stronger, and that resilience is woven into every chord and lyric. The EP doesn’t shy away from life’s challenges, but instead, it embraces them, turning pain into beauty and struggle into triumph.
