Evan Barlow pleads with the evil forces of drug addiction to release their hold on his soul: “Pop that vein/Satan is alive now/I want Satan to let me be/Just give me peace.” It’s easy to see the struggle Barlow had to go through while overcoming the battles of drug addiction in this chilling new record titled “Window.” Shanica Knowles, actress and cousin to the legendary Beyonce Knowles, known for her roles in Hanna Montana and Jump In!, does an incredible job painting the picture of addiction knocking at the window of the soul asking to be let in over a hypnotic, enchanting beat.
