New York alt-pop/alt-folk artist Scott Krokoff premieres his new single, “Cubicle,” on Medium.
A practicing attorney, Krokoff refused to place his musical dream on hold, resulting in the release of A Better Life (2007), followed by Realizations and Declarations, Vol. 1 (20012), and his last release, Realizations and Declarations, Vol. 2 (2015), which garnered vast critical acclaim, and featured the single “Scared Little Boy,” a finalist in the UK’s 2015 Songwriter Contest.
An adroit finger-picker like James Taylor and Paul Simon, Krokoff has shared the stage with Elle King and Grace Weber, performed live in Belgium for his biggest fan’s ten-year anniversary, and collected airplay throughout Canada, Europe, and the U.S.
Krokoff’s contagious sound blends elements of pop and folk music into dazzling concoctions of Americana-flavored music embodying delicious retro savors from the ’60s and ‘70s.
“Cubicle” opens on shimmering guitars and a measured beat topped by soaring accents from a guitar flavored with wistful tones. A thick bass line and tasty percussion drive the undulating rhythm, as Krokoff’s voice, affluent and just a bit nasal, glides overhead with urgent nostalgic timbres. It’s a voice subtly reminiscent of Tom Petty, furrowed with scrumptious drawling hues.
