Tune in to Craig Small Music’s debut funk/groove-laden, sultry, alt-rock experience, ‘Sunkiss’!

Aussie veteran guitarist & songwriter Craig Small has been patiently crafting and gearing up this track for its worldwide release, and here it is!

This is a track that oozes panache, personality, and raw, understated power; ‘Sunkiss’ captivates you from the get-go. We open, without a moment to waste, onto hypnotic, distortion-heavy riffs that feel like the entrance music for a charismatic, badass, leather-clad, action movie star!

Listeners of funk rock bands like RHCP, AudioSlave & Queen of Stone Age will immediately identify with this track’s sensual, magnetic rhythms. As we move forward from that irresistibly groovy opening section into an airy, expansive verse, we’re treated to Craig’s tender, whispering vocals.

He confesses intimately, ‘About a love so hot….it burns!’. The lyrics are simple and deeply personal yet relatable to anyone who’s felt just how compellingly addictive desire and passion can be.

The chorus flows into a soft, evocative, stirring arrangement; delicate piano notes pair brilliantly with the distortion riffs and catchy, sensual lyrics –

‘Sunkiss you make my skin blush when I kiss your lips’

The track’s production leans toward a minimal, contrasting feel, hinting strongly at alt/pop rock influences from past and present. Yet, “Sunkiss” feels refreshingly original in its entirety. Under the minimal arrangements, you feel a fiery emotion, expressed with expert control and nuance. Little after the halfway point, Craig launches into a moving, wailing guitar solo, majestic and Santana-esque in its grace and emotional depth.

With renewed energy, ‘Sunkiss’ makes a strong finish, leaving you feeling thoroughly entertained and satisfied!

Craig delivers a perfectly balanced, cinematic, alt-rock opus with ‘Sunkiss’. We especially love the balance and control between the heavy riffs and light, evocative vocals & arrangements. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from Craig Small Music!
