Nashville singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mokita has been staying as consistent as possible throughout this year, having released more than a handful of tasteful singles. A massively talented songwriter, he channels his innermost emotions into his music with real honesty; the word Mokita roughly translates to “the truth we all know but don’t talk about.”
His latest release ‘Down’ is a love letter to anyone who is struggling right now, filled with thoughtful yet inspirational lines. The instrumental is fittingly smooth, driven by lush piano chords and soothing atmospheres; it starts off as a ballad before trap-inspired percussion and electric guitar melodies take the energy up a notch.
“I’ve had some really rough seasons in my life where my depression was just so bad and I didn’t feel like I was ever going climb out of it, but through those times I’ve had some close friends who have walked with me through those seasons; who have encouraged me and just been present,” Mokita writes. “I think the theme of this song was really just a letter to those friends who are going through those things, and to anyone who is having a hard time. Everybody needs a friend to walk with them through the hard seasons and sometimes just being present, being available to listen, and being faithful, is the best way to love someone through those times.”
