Some of the articles are really well written, the journalists have obviously listened to my music and express their opinions about it. I am happy that the reviews are overwhelmingly positive.
Here are just a few short excerpts:
Aaron Koenig is back with his new single, Blow My Mind! and it feels like the perfect introduction to the world he is building with his upcoming album of the same name. The track hits right away with an infectious groove wrapped in Koenig’s warm and animated vocal style. It has an upbeat, almost playful pulse, but there is a sense of intention behind every element. The hook is instantly memorable, and the band arrangement gives the song a handmade quality that stands out in a digital landscape. Instead of overproducing the track, Koenig keeps the instrumentation lively and organic, which makes the groove feel like it is happening right in front of you.

Aaron Koenig’s new single Blow My Mind! starts off with a sense of pure imagination and wide-eyed fascination. It’s a lively tribute to someone who stands out from the rest. Instead of being subtle about admiration, the song has a vibrant and colorful sense of wonder that it channels into a lively pop personality. It has a lot of personality, is full of life, and is meant to be bigger than life.
Kindline Magazine
Blow My Mind! is a soul song at its core, but Koenig doesn’t stick to the rules for long. Instead, he puts together an unexpected mix of soul, rock, and bossa nova, making a sound that is both adventurous and welcoming right away. The wild, almost mischievous brass section is what makes the song stand out. It doesn’t just add to the arrangement, but it drives it forward, giving the song its swagger and electric momentum.
Zillions Magazine
Koenig is best at making arrangements, and the brass section takes over the track with a lot of energy, giving it a lively feel that complements the song’s ethereal story. Blow My Mind! offers a place where emotional depth meets musical playfulness, where reality and fantasy mingle, and where soul music becomes unexpected and pleasantly strange.
Honk Magazine
With Blow My Mind! Aaron Koenig isn’t just releasing music. He’s offering a philosophy, a crafted artefact, and a reminder that art still matters deeply, if we choose to meet it with intention.
