On his new single, ‘Officer’, Kent solo songsman Wez King finds himself chased down by the law and desperate to plead his innocence, “Tell me please, I’ve been on my knees, I’m begging you / It must be the clothes I wear, so why d’you stop and stare?”, whilst acknowledging an exasperating tendency to be forever noticed and pulled into the limelight.
To be frank, exposure and attention shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when you’re guilty of writing enticingly blues-tinged indie guitar bangers like this, King’s latest dispatch sounding as dirty, gritty and fuzzy as The Black Keys at their dirty, gritty and fuzziest or Arctic Monkeys at their Josh Homme helmed peak.
‘Officer’ was released on Friday 5th January and is available to hear on all of the streaming services. We’ve put the Spotify link for your listening pleasure below:
