"Shock The World" is a 6-track EP by Coolhandtrew that celebrates life, soul, and presence. Spanning just under 15 minutes total across five tracks, the collection is an answer to the lie that music must be loud to make a lasting impression, that it just has to be felt.
From the first few notes, Coolhandtrew sets a vibe that’s half chill and half intentional, selecting sounds worthy of late-night playlists and introspective moments. Centerpiece for that EP is the title track, “Shock The World,” a centerpiece that both lives up to its name as well as stands out as the emblematic music of the subtle artist behind it.
Equally as enthralling is “Next to Me,” a soulful offering that epitomizes the intimacy and intensity Coolhandtrew provides. The song combines touching lyricism with a chill af groove, and the result is one of those tracks that sticks long after the final chord fades. Meanwhile, “Bundle Up” continues the project’s focus on tranquility and introspection with its pleas for listeners to take it slow and seek solace in life’s quieter corners.
On all five tracks, Coolhandtrew avoids the overproduction taste with a presence leading through. Every song feels purposeful, made to pull the listener inward and not out. The result is an EP that feels uniquely personal, soulful, and timeless. With "Shock The World," Coolhandtrew does a subtle reminder that simple and soulful are the ingredients for some of the most compelling listening experiences.
