New Music Review - ‘They Don't Know a Thing About Me 2.0’ the EP by Chris Bates

Artwork for Chris’ latest EP. It will, most definitely, make your heart melt. Have a listen now!

Following on from his first EP, They Don't Know a Thing About Me released at the end of October 2020, Chris Bates is back with his emotionally driven, heartfelt second EP, They Don't Know a Thing About Me 2.0 which might have you on the floor, appreciating the maturity of this man and the lyrics that will absolutely make your heart melt.

Filled with outstanding melodies, stunning guitar riffs and incredibly beautiful piano touches, Chris makes himself unapologetically known. Keep on watching for his next moves in this big world.

If you're looking for the ultimate teary-eyed soundtrack for your week, They Don't Know a Thing About Me 2.0 certainly hits that spot. Chris exerts that kind of Dean Lewis vibe in a way, making words pull at each and every heart string. You will be fully captivated by the vibe that he sends out.

Each song from this 5-track wonderland is driven with passion and experience clearly from Chris’ past. For me, I think it's wonderful to be able to relate to a song and go “okay, wow. I have felt that at some point and can absolutely see where this artist is coming from” and Chris certainly shares his music in such a vulnerable and special way to relate to the audience, while being authentic to himself.

Highly recommend driving alone and shouting out the lyrics on an empty road you're going down and letting yourself feel all of the feelings with this EP. What a journey of spectacular bliss!
