Scott Cook’s new EP ‘It’s Me, Ami‘ is an exciting mix of fresh sounds highlighting personal growth. After releasing his debut EP Topics in 2021, Cook wanted to create something that felt like an evolution, and he definitely delivers with this sixsong collection.
The EP kicks off with ‘Good Thing’, a feel-good track packed with upbeat energy and catchy vibes. From there, ‘Reruns’ shifts gears with a more rhythmic rockdriven sound with a gritty edge that contrasts nicely with the opener. ‘The Author’, the third song on the EP, takes you on a ride with a bass line that drives the song with Scott’s vocals taking over in sections of the song where the meter slows. It’s a cool, dynamic track that shows off Cook’s ability to mix complexity with simplicity. ‘Hook on a Paper Wall’ takes a slower, more methodical approach with its delicate guitar picking and soulful vocals, creating a reflective atmosphere.
Throughout the EP, Cook’s lyrics are straightforward and authentic, tackling themes of personal growth, creativity, and the challenges of self-expression. In songs like ‘A Writer’s Woes’ and ‘Might Never Learn’, he shares his personal take and interpretation on things that come with being a writer and artist, making the music feel both personal and relatable.
In ‘It’s Me, Ami’, Scott Cook blends smooth vocals, great guitar work, and catchy melodies with thoughtful lyrics. The EP captures his growth as a musician while staying true to the honest, reflective style that has always defined his music. It’s a great listen for anyone looking for music that’s both energetic and meaningful.
