Zachary Knowles Strips Our Hearts with the Live Performance of his latest single “Crush”.

Originally released August 5th via Fader, “Crush” is the second single from Knowles’ upcoming October EP ‘GOALIE’ is wavy and light-hearted, invoking the fears and adrenaline that accompanies prepubescent love.

I think one of the best feelings is when you have a crush on someone and find out the feelings are mutual“, Knowles said. “What’s crazier is when you’ve been with someone for years and they still give you those initial feelings you had when they were just a crush. Those are the feelings that I wanted to channel when I wrote this song.”

Backed only by piano, “Crush’s” live performance reaches a new depth. Zachary sings in lower octaves under the dim lights of Billy Bobs’ pool hall — much more earnest than that of his lyric video of dancing heart candies.

Coming from the small town Magnolia, TX, Zachary is making big noise amongst the current pop scene amassing 70 million global streams, 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, and over 100 thousand followers across social media platforms.
