Listen to That Don't Mean A Thing / Stressed Out on Spotify. Kyle Dion · Single · 2020 · 2 songs.

Kyle Dion releases 2 new songs, stream 'That Don't Mean A Thing / Stressed Out' here

August 11, 2020 by Toby Boston in Contemporary R&B, Pop, R&B, Soul

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Soulful singer Kyle Dion returns after the success of his album 'Suga' with two sparkling new singles, with the bright 80s synths of 'That Don't Mean A Thing' and the moody bouncy rhythms of 'Stressed Out', capturing a musical expression of Dion's experience throughout the year.

“'Stressed Out' is what the world is feeling right now,” Dion explains. “There’s this thick air of hopelessness, despair and anger that seems to have consumed the world in 2020, but through all of that, there’s also empowerment and this sense of closeness as we’re all going through it together. Then, on 'That Don’t Mean A Thing' I wanted to give a new energy to the world because everything’s so heavy right now. We need more joy, and we forget it is an important part of life to maintain for ourselves, and right now it’s somewhat buried under all the stress that’s currently in the world."

We admire Kyle Dion’s efforts and his passionate energy. We’re looking forward to hearing more for the visionary and encourage everyone else to do the same. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on what’s coming up and enjoy!

We love this new single from Silent Child, stream 'When You Need Me'

December 04, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Dark, Contemporary R&B, Electronic, Hip-Hop, R&B

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Who else is enjoying the latest and greatest from Silent Child? Titled ‘When You Need Me’, the new single showcases a dark and moody side of the artist that we can’t get enough of. Since it’s release last week, it’s been on constant repeat around the office and for good reason.

“It being the sequel, the song is also about my relationship. It was made more recently, but it still felt right. I like to use guitar to convey my feelings in a more understanding way and so I ended up using it more in this track because I just felt like there was more for me to say. The first song was almost like an introduction to my feelings, whereas "When You Need Me" is the real love story” — Silent Child

The dark undertones and heavy 808’s serve as an impactful reminder that artists are still making music with an original and unique sound. Blending genres like electronic and R&B music, ‘When You Need Me’ is an expressive and infectiously catchy new single that captures the heart and soul of Silent Child as an artist.

Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!
