Fragile, late-night R&B that feels like a whispered secret. Minimalist piano and glitchy beats supporting a haunting falsetto for moments of quiet introspection.
Kevin Garrett is a Pittsburgh-born, Brooklyn-based artist who bridged the gap between traditional singer-songwriter craft and the 'PBR&B' movement of the mid-2010s. His sound identity is built on a foundation of sophisticated harmonic progressions, often played on Rhodes or upright piano, layered with minimalist electronic beats and glitchy, found-sound textures.
He gained significant industry stature for his songwriting contributions to Beyoncé's 'Lemonade,' specifically co-writing and co-producing the opening track 'Pray You Catch Me,' which solidified his reputation as a 'songwriter's songwriter.' His career arc shows a steady evolution from the sparse, acoustic-leaning 'Mellow Drama' EP to the more polished, atmospheric production of his full-length debut 'Hoax.' Critically, he is praised for his technical vocal control and his ability to maintain a sense of 'bedroom' intimacy even within high-fidelity studio environments. He occupies a similar cultural space to artists like James Vincent McMorrow and Moses Sumney, where the boundaries between folk, soul, and electronic music are intentionally blurred.
