With his most recent single, “the art of discovery,” independent Maryland musician Summer Solow is further establishing himself in the underground music landscape. The song, which Solow wrote, co-engineered, and produced himself, combines pop-rap melodies with unvarnished storytelling to provide an honest glimpse into the life of a man battling trauma, adulthood, and personal development.
“The art of discovery” has a deeper story behind its catchy beat. In the end, it embraces the beauty of development and self-realization while reflecting on the hardships of insecurity and bondage. Anyone negotiating the intricacies of contemporary life can relate to this song because it strikes a balance between vulnerability and resiliency.
This single follows the July 30th release of Solow’s eagerly awaited album, “I Been Going Through Some Things.” The project explores issues of community, relationships, and insecurity, establishing Summer as a voice of his generation as well as an artist. Solow’s artistic heritage is rooted in PG County, Maryland; having grown up in a church with a mother who loved music, he honed his ear for sonic detail and performance accuracy.
Summer’s cinematic approach to music is what makes him unique. His songs, which balance melodic textures, reflective wordplay, and emotional depth, frequently have the feel of nostalgic diary entries. His live performances—from opening slots for IDK and Lightshow to venues like Songbyrd DC—have garnered him a loyal fan base, and publications such as Kindline Magazine have characterized his music as “infectious, with a captivating emotional prowess.”
