23 years old, Polish-born and Dublin-raised artist Mateusz Kosnik of Shaky Shack, has released his debut single ‘Soakie’ under the moniker Poor Petal. The track is the first single off his debut EP ‘zzz’, which is set for release on March 26th. Poor Petal is Kosnik’s solo project. He writes, produces and masters everything himself in his bedroom (recently upgraded to attic studio) with the occasional collaboration and/or sample of his friends. 

‘Soakie’ is a hypnotic gem from Poor Petal. The track exudes a soothing persona that is heightened by delicate guitar melodies which loosely weave into the song’s vast, airy soundscape creating a tranquilizing listening experience. Kosnik uses subtle metronomic beats and a constant warm guitar refrain to anchor the track’s ethereal atmosphere allowing the sweet whispered vocals fill out the song’s spacious backdrop. With lush backing vocals and a marshmallow-soft melody, ‘Soakie’ is a beautiful and calming single from Poor Petal.
