GRANT KNOCHE, “INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS” [📷: GRANT KNOCHE]Question: “Would you give into intrusive thoughts?” Hmm, that is a legitimate question! Intrusive thoughts are something else, after all! INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS” is really something else in the hands of Dallas, Texas-bred/LA based artist/producer/songwriter, GRANT KNOCHE.  The bisexual musician excels vocally on this two-minutes and change pop joint.  Furthermore, his songwriting, alongside Gavin Hudner and Jades Goudreault, impresses too. “I could be a domino / Fallin’ right into you,” he sings in the first verse, adding, “No one ain’t gotta know / Mama don’t raise no fool.” Ooh-la-la!

pride heart burstIt doesn’t take too long for this handsome, talented young man to get utterly sexual! Honestly, the lyrics end up living to the cover art – a toned mid-riff 😍, jeans, already unbuttoned, being unzipped 😈. “Tug on my shirt now I can’t speak / Lips on my neck so I can’t breathe / Ring the alarm, it’s a crime scene.” Indeed, indeed, Mr. Knoche.  For good measure, how about a heaping dose of “Put your hands on my body like you know me /… All night, break off in one night / You’re all mine.” Yes, more like YAASS, it’s giving naughtiness! But as Knoche, all of 20 years young says best himself, “What’s the point of living if you can’t let loose a little bit every now & then.” To quote Drizzy, “you only live once.”
