Ryan Edward Kotler Release "Give It a Week"

Ryan Edward Kotler’s “Give It a Week” lands as another quiet confirmation of what has been steadily coming into focus throughout 2025. I hear an artist who is no longer introducing himself so much as reinforcing a voice that already knows what it wants to say. The song carries the same open hearted spirit that defined “Mary Anne,” but where that track leaned into memory, this one looks forward with a lighter step.

There is a sense of patience built into the writing, an understanding that reflection does not have to tip into longing to carry weight.

What continues to stand out is Kotler’s instinct for storytelling. The details arrive naturally, shaped by melody rather than forced into it, and the emotional clarity comes from restraint instead of grand gestures. I hear a songwriter confident enough to let simplicity do the work, trusting that a well drawn scene can carry as much meaning as any dramatic turn. “Give It a Week” reads as hopeful without being naive, grounded without losing warmth. I find myself genuinely curious about where this run of releases leads next, and I am already looking ahead to what Kotler brings into 2026.
