UK-based singer-songwriter and musician Lewis Knaggs brings us his latest single and music video for “Third Eye” which once again showcases his immense talent and creativity. Hailing from North London and influenced by his eclectic upbringing with a Welsh mother and an American father, Knaggs’ music traverses diverse paths, reflecting his varied tastes and life experiences.
For Knaggs, songwriting is a journey of self-discovery, where he dives into transportive narratives infused with deep emotions. His raw and husky vocals serve as a canvas for intimate lyricism, exploring themes such as empowerment, past mistakes, loss, heartbreak and the innate desire for freedom. Each track unfolds like a personal diary, inviting listeners into his world of personal reflection and vulnerability.
One of the distinguishing aspects of Knaggs’ music is his dedication to independence and self-expression. Recording his music on vintage instruments at the storied Big Smith Studios in Alexandra Palace, he takes on the role of writer, producer and release manager. This commitment to challenging expectations and pushing his own boundaries sets him apart as a truly unique artist.
Earlier this year, Knaggs captivated audiences with “My Father,” a poignant tribute to his late father, Chris Knaggs. Now, with the release of “Third Eye,” Knaggs explores an upbeat rock sound, displaying his versatility as an artist. In “Third Eye,” Lewis Knaggs treats us to an energetic indie rock anthem. The song bursts with driving percussion and bass, accompanied by bright and jangly guitar tones. Knaggs’ rich vocal delivery carries hook-filled lines and pop-infused melodic leads, creating an infectious and uplifting musical experience. The track showcases his ability to craft memorable melodies while maintaining an indie rock edge.
Accompanying the single is a visually captivating music video directed by Lewis Knaggs himself, alongside Florian Kasperski and Robert Harold. The video seamlessly blends shots of Knaggs performing the song with a dark backdrop, incorporating trippy effects and abstract animations that mirror the delicate psychedelic vibes of the track. The visual representation adds another layer of artistic exploration to the overall experience, elevating the song’s impact.
Lewis Knaggs’ “Third Eye” is a stunning showcase of his talent, musical range and commitment to his own artistic expression. With each release, he continues to impress, demonstrating his growth and ability to win over audiences with his heartfelt lyrics, skilful musicianship and engaging visuals. As he forges his own path in the music industry, Knaggs remains a refreshing and promising force to be reckoned with.
Commenting on the new single, he shares, “Third Eye is about trying to hold onto the memories, advice and words of wisdom given to me over the years as I progress through life, whether that may be words shared with me by close friends & family, or from loved ones that have passed. The song originally came into existence with the memory of my grandfather, he was a legend who greatly influenced my life and provided a lot of advice. As I wrote the song, it started to take a shape of its own in a whole new way since losing a few more close friends. The track started as a riff that I built on guitar, then gradually added to in the studio, it took on a life of its own and has made it what you hear now.”
