Kevin Landt stipulates his modern rock style in his debut cover single of Katy Perry’s, ‘I Kissed a Girl’. He creates it in a storytelling context, with the fluid structure of indie rock and the anthemic elements of pop rock. As both a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, there is a versatility that bleeds into the composition, an individualistic pulse and prosperity that instantly sets him apart from the crowd. There is much to say about the vision and sonic technique that he employs across the track. To see him transform a commercial pop song into a nuanced, detailed, dynamic alt rock song makes for quite the listening experience. 

Retaining the catchy rhythm and beat lines, he builds on this base. His interpretations come out in the vocals, smoky, moody, edgy, and deviant. He doesn’t exactly emulate the drama of Katy Perry’s vocal performance. Leading the theme into a more mellow and sensual dimension, he casts it in a subdued gleam, a soporific halo that you can just flow into. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
