Musically, Step Back totes some very crisp production featuring opening acoustic guitar strums, coupled with a great bass line and some riveting percussion. Knight offers a tremendous vocal, one that speaks with sincerity,

2-Letting Go: This song opens with a more cerebral pace. Notably, Letting Go begins with Knight casting a soulful delivery of chorale over the soft measures of the piano. The track has a nice pace as Knight is able to build much of the song’s atmosphere from the tune’s dramatic instrumentation. The hook is extremely catchy without losing any of its sophistication. The subject of Letting Go of a relationship never sounded so good.

The song definitely rings a chord with many of us who have faced such internal struggles and challenges. The melody is soft and draws influences from both classical and gospel. The tune makes crafty use of the piano and some invigorating synth sounds. Save Me From Myself expresses an inspirational quality found in the track’s momentum.

Step Back is an incredible EP. Knight is able to build a melodic podium that allows him to deliver a soulful performance that touches the inner core of our being. Step Back has something for everyone while maintaining its integrity and high standard of recording.
