Will Knox’s fourth album, English Silence, is a delicate and introspective journey through personal growth, fatherhood, and healing. Produced by Ian Grimble (Bear’s Den, Daughter), the album features eleven beautifully crafted songs that echo Knox’s signature blend of vulnerability and storytelling. Often compared to artists like Elliott Smith and Nick Mulvey, Knox’s songwriting is tender yet powerful, addressing deeply intimate themes with a quiet strength.

The album’s focus track, “Body Talk,” co-written with Belgian artist Emma Bale, highlights Knox’s lyrical ability to convey emotions that transcend words. The track explores the unspoken communication between two people, relying on body language to express feelings too difficult to vocalize. Its acoustic version, featuring Dutch singer-songwriter néomí, will further highlight the raw emotion and simplicity of Knox’s work.

Thematically, English Silence is a reflection on mental health, the challenges of parenthood, and the long process of healing. Tracks like “Instant Coffee” remind listeners that recovery takes time, while “Leave the Light On” and “Twentysomething” delve into the difficulties of self-discovery and communication. “Growing Pains” stands out as a poignant conversation with Knox’s younger self, reflecting the simultaneous process of reparenting oneself while becoming a parent.

Knox’s collaborations with artists like Fin Greenall and Celine Cairo add further depth to the album, enhancing its emotional layers. Ultimately, English Silence showcases Will Knox’s evolution as an artist, offering a sincere and deeply resonant record that invites listeners to sit with their emotions and embrace the complexity of life’s quieter moments.
