Kent Centz veers hard left with "you can't choke a ghost," a raw, spectral ballad that doesn't whisper vulnerability but breathes it right into your bones. This is soul music, not soul music in genre, but in depth. For a weary audience done with curated perfection and looking for something authentic, "you cant choke a ghost," is worth the wait. Kent Centz may not be chasing charts, but he's chasing something much more unattainable: the truth.
There's no safety net here and no shiny synths to shield behind; Nothing but a voice aching, vulnerable, fearless enough to tell all the truth, unfiltered. The pared-down production is more than an approach; it's an argument. Each breath, each pause, each crack in the voice lands with intent. You don't just listen to the pain; you are in its presence.
What makes "you can't choke a ghost" so riveting is not just the vulnerability, but it's the refusal to dress it up. Centz leans heavily on dark imagery and language that feels more like journal entries than finished lyrics. This is not a mass-appealing type of song but a confession, reckoning, and an unwelcome ghost of a feeling that lingers long after the final note fades.
Centz doesn't appear to be trying to impress you, but he's letting you in. And if you're willing to sit still for a moment, it will leave you suspended, tugging at nothing, in the quiet gravity of it. It's not catchy in the traditional sense, but it clings like smoke from a memory you're not ready to confront.
