"All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not. "
It's 2008 and it’s finally about to happen. So many years in the making that most have stopped inquiring about it. So many tears, triumphs and tragedies that this album will capture the minds, hearts and souls of everyone who understands that pain reminds us how alive we really are. 2009 marks the emergence of a voice that will silence itself no more. “Going Sane in a Crazy World” is the solo debut from Baltimore native Kneel Knaris.
As a member of PX (Parts Unknown) he helped to bring the world “Everybody Wanna Know”, “Hail to the Streets” and “Hood Therapy”. Now he plans to reveal himself as the man with a voice worth listening to. “Going Sane in a Crazy World” boasts production from Grammy-nominated producer Ivan “OrthdX” Barias of Karma Productions (Musiq, Mario, Jill Scott, Raheem Devaughn), F.U.P. (G-Unit, Joell Ortiz, Skillz), and up-and-coming producers Dischoe and DJ AntonToulose from France.
“This project is so personal that I almost didn’t release it. I expose myself on this one. There isn’t a person alive who can’t relate to real life, real emotion, real pleasure and real pain.” Clinically diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Kneel’s genius is only multiplied and oftentimes marred by his chaotic mood swings. He affectionately refers to his “gift” as “Starbucks and Guinness Disorder”.
There is a stark contrast of painful honesty and sinful pleasure throughout “Going Sane in a Crazy World”. Songs like "Edge of Sanity” and "I Dont Wanna Feel" translate the effects of Bipolar Disorder through clever arrangements, crisp hooks and succinct lyrics full of introspection and confusion. Conversely, songs like “Addiction (Going Sane in a Crazy World)” and "Two Women" draw listeners into the spiral of dependency, escape and self medication. "Dont get me wrong. I have as much fun as everyone else. Matter of fact I probably have more. But that fun ends up in a funnel just as quickly. My album is a reflection of my life. The amusement park where the cost of admission is quite possibly a straightjacket." Is it insane that a relative unknown with so much riding on this project would dare give so freely of himself? Is it not wise to shove too much of himself into the faces of music enthusiasts and fans alike? Is he asking for too much of your undivided attention to make your acquaintance?
