On his second album, Now You Know Me, Marcus Harvey sets out to reveal every facet of his psyche—and succeeds. Across 10 genre-blending tracks—spotlessly produced and composed with a loose, free-flowing style that leaves room for spontaneity—the South African multi-talent examines his inner and outer world, presenting his artistry confident in the knowledge that it stands up to scrutiny. Bringing all his conflicting emotions into balance, Harvey alternates between unwavering conviction in his own vision over warped chords and skittering drum beats on “Day Job”—see also: the woozy, jazz-flavoured “Legendary Living”—and unabashed anxiety about his future on the supple drip of “Save Myself”. Elsewhere, heartfelt declarations of devotion and love land in the form of piano-based midtempo “Factual”—characterised by the plain-spoken refrain, “I just wanna be there for you”—while “Lerato” acts as balm for the wounded but unbroken spirit. In digging down to the very core of his own humanity, Harvey has hit a goldmine, emerging with a neat collection of shining, soulful nuggets of self-reflection that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved, lost or felt the weight of the world on their shoulders.
