Shedding Skin: The New EP by The Rockin’ Krolik
Nearly three years in the making, Shedding Skin, the new six-song EP by Ajax, ON-based musician The Rockin’ Krolik (a.k.a. J.F. Perotin), offers a raw and deeply personal exploration of relationships, personal growth, loss, and addiction. Written and crafted as he turned 52, this album carries the weight of hard-earned wisdom, maturity, and vulnerability that only comes with life experience.
Some Track notes –
“W.Y.K.Y.K.” (When You Know, You Know)
This mellow, groove-infused track celebrates emotional intelligence and trusting your gut instinct. Perotin describes the song as being about “tuning into the energy of the universe” and sensing the magnetism in interactions with others. The track crescendos into an epic, string-filled finale, delivering a feeling of emotional release.
“Tie Me Up”
With its jangly, moody vibe, this song confronts the inevitability of time and mortality. “It’s about reaching a point in life where you know there’s no stopping it or slowing it down,” Perotin reflects.
“Say It”
A heartfelt ballad exploring missed opportunities and unspoken words, Say It captures the bittersweet regret of unexpressed feelings. The addition of a choir brings soaring poignance to the track, transforming it into an emotional tearjerker.
“Numb in the Rain”
This soulful, percussive song delves into addiction and the desire for escape. Perotin candidly notes, “We all have our demons… there’s a way out, but the song intentionally doesn’t offer that hope.” With its tension-filled progression, the track echoes themes from the album opener, urging listeners to embark on self-reflection.
Shedding Skin is a testament to Perotin’s journey, offering listeners a poignant and relatable soundtrack to life’s ups and downs.
