Soul Zimon & His Kozmic Combinations strike a powerful chord with their latest single, “Devil’s On The Loose.” This raw and honest track encapsulates the essence of homemade folk blues, delving deep into themes of emptiness, broken relationships, frustrations, and bad habits.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the lingering pain and the inability to let go, as he mournfully confess, “Tried to let loose, but I can’t let go now, cause when I think of you, I always find the blues.” That pained and open vulnerability is only furthered by the viscerally emotive vocal performance, which carries the weight of lost love and shattered connections.
Accompanied by a stripped-down acoustic arrangement, the song creates an intimate atmosphere that allows the sheer rawness of his emotions to take center stage. It’s authentic and achingly delivered with such a realness to its performance that only furthers your obsession and engrossment into the overall vision.
There’s a timelessness to folksy blues music and Devil’s On The Loose just captures that eternal power of storytelling through performance alone.
