5 Reasons You Should Listen To BRYANT KEITH's New Single “IMPATIENT”

Some songs grab your attention because of a huge chorus. Others pull you in with a feeling you recognise straight away. BRYANT KEITH’s “IMPATIENT” falls into the latter group. Here are 5 reasons the song deserves your attention right now.

1. It tackles the awkward side of relationships

“IMPATIENT” is not about perfect romance. KEITH gets into the frustration that comes when you still care about someone but are tired of where things have ended up. The lyrics deal with attachment, doubt and the temptation to keep going back.

2. The chorus gets straight to the point

“Am I stupid / Or outrageous” is followed by the song’s central admission: “But the truth is / I'm impatient”. It is direct, memorable and sums up the mood without needing much explanation.

3. The production has plenty of atmosphere

KEITH brings contemporary R&B together with early-2000s influences, creating a dark, lush backdrop for the song. It gives the track a late-night feel while keeping the focus on the vocals and lyrics.

4. It came together in KEITH’s home studio

KEITH wrote and produced “IMPATIENT” himself, using an AKAI MPK keyboard, drum chops and soul samples. According to KEITH, the track came together in around 10 hours before going through a few revisions. That DIY approach is an interesting part of the story behind the single.

5. It gives a taste of what is coming next

“IMPATIENT” is taken from THE LOVE PACT, KEITH’s forthcoming EP. He describes his approach as “psychological R&B”, using music to explore emotional and psychological experiences. This single gives a clear introduction to that idea while leaving plenty of room to see where the EP takes it next.

If you are after R&B with relatable relationship drama at its centre and a darker edge to the production, “IMPATIENT” is well worth adding to the playlist!
