The Manitoba-based musician, singer-songwriter, producer, and public speaker John Wiebe pairs up with rapper Enkay47 for their relatable and emotional release, "Crazy (feat. Enkay47)."
Despite being born with one vocal cord, John Wiebe continues to defy all odds while acting as an inspiration to those told they couldn't. With vocal stylings that resemble a blend of The Calling and Lifehouse, John Wiebe's alternative-pop sound and honest lyricism are destined to land him a loyal international fanbase.
Recently releasing his heartfelt single, "Crazy (feat. Enkay47)," John Wiebe opens his heart to listeners and holds their hands through life's trials and tribulations with his soothing instrumentals and warm vocals. When speaking upon the single, Wiebe had this to say, "A song that was written for those looking for an outlet from feeling crazy, outcast, and neglected by those who they love the most."
Taking a listen to "Crazy (feat. Enkay47)," the venture begins with a soft acoustic guitar and light mid-tempo drums. As John Wiebe enters the track with his soothing vocals, the instrumentation drops into an anthemic and emotional foot-tapper as he begins venting about a troubled relationship and its repetitive arguments.
This track is straight out of 00s alternative, as the instrumentals continue to groove with sonic emotion and tenderness with help from a bright electric guitar and crisp drum breaks. As Enkay47 begins rapping his verse, we can hear a similar raw and passionate vibe to MGK as he spits intense and ground-breaking bars like "They say there's plenty of fish in the sea, but I doubt it, I've gotta take a break from the water, cause I'm drowning."
If you're looking for a song to touch your mind, body, and soul, look no further, as John Wiebe's latest hit, "Crazy (feat. Enkay47)," will do just the trick. Find the single on all digital streaming platforms. - BuzzMusic
