Eric Scott’s latest EP, Wolfstein, transforms heartbreak into art – a sonic reconstruction of emotion that balances vulnerability and power. The project carries a dusky sophistication, it sounds cinematic yet intimate, haunting yet strangely comforting. Across each track, Scott’s voice glides between raw grit and poised elegance, uncovering emotion from every shadow it touches.
From the very first notes of “Dance Around the Darkness” (featuring Sunnie and RodBitches), Scott sets an immersive tone. The arrangement swells with orchestral grace and a hypnotic pulse, while his vocals rise and fall like waves – expressive, controlled, powerful. The track unfolds like a cinematic overture, pulling the listener into Wolfstein’s shadowy world.
“This Ain’t That” (with Johnny Sublime) shifts the atmosphere to a different state. Propelled by haunting horns, crisp percussion, and Scott’s confident delivery, it burns with clarity and purpose. The verses slice through the haze, creating one of the EP’s most striking moments. Then “Nolove” (featuring Kingsley Ibeneche) slows the heartbeat, weaving alternative R&B textures into an ethereal, dreamlike soundscape which is quietly intense and soaked in emotion.
The title track, featuring Smoke DZA, sounds like the project’s centerpiece. It’s eerie and stylish, yet deeply emotional – painting vivid portraits of loss, endurance, and the messy process of becoming whole again. Every detail feels intentional, from the brooding production to the subtly layered vocals that give the song its heartbeat.
Throughout Wolfstein, the production feels alive – shifting fluidly between sophistication and raw sentiment. The EP embraces the full spectrum of feeling: anguish, confusion, resilience, and that delicate calm that follows acceptance. Scott’s ability to balance these extremes makes the record both deeply personal and universally resonant.
On his new EP Wolfstein– With its haunting vocals, rich sound design, and fearless emotional honesty, Eric Scott delivers a record that feels not just heard, but felt.
