Kev Kelly – Tilt

Charismatic American singer songwriter Kev Kelly is back today with a sharp and punchy pop release in the form of summery new single ‘Tilt’.

With its honest, unapologetic and clever lyricism, the song is sure to be one of the more interesting releases of the week.

“I was a lifeguard at a country club in Kentucky. The members were mostly young families and seemed to have what I guess you would consider ‘new money.’ It was a pretty conservative place; so, I was shocked to find out after my second week that it was basically a swingers club. I noticed the parents of kids I went to school with – their dads would come off the course and leave with Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones would take their mom out for ‘dinner.’ I couldn’t help but think, Damn, church on Sunday must be awkward for these people.”

Taken from the forthcoming two-part EP, ‘THIS MIGHT ESCALATE…AND THEN COLLAPSE.’ Part One officially drops on 3rd June 2022.

New Music: Kev Kelly

With a refreshingly raw and honest take on alt-pop, Nashville-based singer and songwriter Kev Kelly delivers a sound that is immediately captivating to any discerning listener.

Punchy, mildly explicit and undeniably catchy, his latest release ‘Royal Blue’ is anthemic in character and wildly enthralling.

“There was a bar in Nashville called Crazy Town. It was the worst best bar on Broadway. If you had people visiting or it was your friend’s birthday, you went to Crazy Town. And when the DJ played a song that everyone knew, the whole place would erupt. I would like to think if ‘Royal Blue’ came on at Crazy Town in 2018 the whole place would go f*ckin’ nuts.”
