[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If there was one word to describe Kevin George\u2019s new outlook on his career, childlike would fit the bill perfectly. Bright, colorful, and most vital of it all, unapologetically selfish of his own ideas and creations. Everything about Kevin\u2019s new aesthetic was pleasing to eyes and ears. It was uprooting familiar feelings of nostalgia with radiant strings, terse drums that would match Floyd Mayweather on the speed bag, and a slightly raspy voice that cut through the texture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The elements work well together to form a body of work distinct from the rest of the Connecticut singer\u2019s catalog. George\u2019s versatility is undeniable, showcasing his natural musicianship and ear as if it\u2019s innate to him. From earlier projects like FORTINA<\/i>, Kevin is teetering between singing and rapping for a good portion of it. To My Darlings A Demon, <\/i>where one of the most popular animes of 2018, Darling In The Franxx<\/i>, inspired an R&B album that was charming and dreary. Kevin\u2019s natural ability to sway from genre to genre is breathtaking, even more so when speaking on his growth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it was challenging; MDAD was two years ago.\u201d Kevin said. \u201cI\u2019ve grown from that point in immensely. The musical growth was natural. With time, evolution comes easy because it\u2019s natural.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The next phase of his continued evolution led us here, an eclectic EP mixed with elements of R&B, pop, and Indie Rock. Beneath a warm, innocent, childlike aesthetic, the EP touches on themes of letting go and the idea of love, not allowing yourself to get caught up in the obstacles that are derailing your fun and health.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”28658″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThe feeling I get from your music, the aesthetic, is childlike. What was the primary influence of this New Era?<\/b><\/h3>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Visually, The ChiLDLiKE color palette was the biggest inspiration. Sonically, adolescence was a significant key to the mood and feeling I targeted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Letting go and dealing with certain things inside of me that I held in or previously held back was huge for me. I wouldn\u2019t be here now if I hadn\u2019t changed certain things to the game & moved on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I think that it\u2019s crucial for me to make songs across multiple genres. I\u2019m in the studio every day, so I\u2019m always trying to make stuff that everybody can resonate with and relate to. As artists, we should never box ourselves into one sound. They have no idea what I\u2019m going to do next. Some people don\u2019t know where I belong in this space because of how freely I create & think. I know I belong at the top of everybody\u2019s playlist & that\u2019s what I go for every time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d-JO6WxdyKk” align=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It changed the trajectory of my career a lot. Looking back, I think it was a horrible move by me. It\u2019s one of my very few regrets in life. I was blinded by the lights, and my focus wasn\u2019t where it should have been. I would\u2019ve signed any deal anyone gave me, sadly. Where I am today, it made me the boss I currently am. The next move is my best move.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Yes, that pressure doesn\u2019t exist anymore. I am so selfish with my art now. I don\u2019t care about that. Again, my head was in the wrong place, and that was all on me.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I do! I wasn\u2019t just signed to Island Records, but I also signed with Young Forever inc. They did a JV & I signed under them both. Horrible move on my part. I was still developing, so everything wasn\u2019t entirely me. Over there, everyone has an opinion on what type of music you should be doing. What your hair should look like & if you\u2019re not fully confident in yourself & where you are, it will affect everything for the artist. I\u2019ve taken that creativity back 100%. Everything is me & Guin does an excellent job of letting me do whatever I want.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”28659″ img_size=”Large” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]No! haha. My Darling In The Franxx is the only one.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Feeding & growing my core group of fans is all I care about right now. Yeah, maybe at one point, it was the other way around. I see now what\u2019s important & that\u2019s why everything is going so well. No complaints. We\u2019re going to keep it going[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I\u2019ve worked hard to get to this level of excellence as a performer in the studio & on stage. I want people to listen to the new project & take away from it that this kid is a super talent, I\u2019m excited to see how he impacts music going forward, and I\u2019ll be playing these seven songs for a while.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1EIejbMB5IWs1gHMJOodh9?si=f5_lGn4yQdSlq2eYmYg62w[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
