Music Review
When I first listened to “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now?” I immediately felt this warm feeling all over. And as I delved into the breakdown of the lyrics, vocals, and visuals, I began thinking, “I’m witnessing the making of a great artist.” Mokita’s inflections are pure honesty. I felt the sincerity in his words and the yearning he felt as he belted out, “Who Gonna Love Me….” On my fifth listen, I began thinking about how I wanted to see this artist in concert. Of course, that is the most incredible homage you can give any artist; this is to pay to see them in concert – to buy their music. – Donnie M., Music Editor, USL Magazine
About The Artist & New EP: Mokita (aka John-Luke Carter), the talented Nashville chill-pop singer-songwriter-producer known for his introspective and emotionally charged music, is back with his latest EP, Who’s Gonna Love Me Now? This latest release showcases Mokita’s musical evolution, as he fearlessly ventures into new genres and explores profound themes of self-discovery, dependency, fractured relationships, and the pursuit of happiness.
In “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now?” EP, Mokita beautifully captures the essence of his personal journey through a collection of six heartfelt tracks (five tracks co-written with Trent Dabbs (Kacey Musgraves, NEEDTOBREATHE)). Each track is a snapshot of his introspection, growth, and resilience. Departing from the confines of a singular pop sound, Mokita takes inspiration from various genres spanning from folk and old country to electronic and dance, allowing his creativity to flourish and his music to evolve naturally. With honest storytelling, evocative melodies, and a blend of genres, Mokita continues to enrapture his audience on a deeper level.
“When I first started creating music under Mokita, I felt this weird obligation to make all the music sound the same so it could have a cohesive sound; but I got really burnt out doing that and felt like I was limiting my creativity. One of the main themes of the EP was getting comfortable in your own skin. So much of the way I’ve made music in the past is about trying to be impressive to my listeners and trying to prove something. I realized that this was stealing a lot of joy from making music. I wanted this EP to be more about making music that I liked, and that I thought people could relate to. My music is always very journalistic and so what I write can change year to year depending on where I am in my life. This year has been a lot of self-discoveries, a lot of reflection on the past, and a lot of reflecting on what the future looks like.” – Mokita
The title track, “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now?” paints a vivid picture of starting anew after the end of a significant relationship. Mokita masterfully captures the emotions of letting go, the fear of opening up again, and the path towards healing and self-discovery. On “Overdue,” Mokita presents a simple yet powerful concept of needing a break and seeking new experiences to break free from the monotony of daily life. With real instruments and a seamless production, Mokita’s authenticity shines through, capturing the essence of his spontaneous creative process.
More New Singles: In “Names,” Mokita showcases his songwriting prowess, delving into the intricacies of love and the work required to sustain a relationship beyond the initial honeymoon phase. With heartfelt lyrics and a soulful melody, this track encourages listeners to redefine their understanding of love. Closing the EP with “Cure,” the song delves into the search for fulfillment beyond external accomplishments, as Mokita questions the nature of self-worth and explores what truly satisfies the longing in his heart. This contemplative song invites listeners to reflect on their own pursuit of happiness and purpose.
