JP Kennedy is a singer-songwriter and alt folk rock artist. His visions are executed with an affecting emotional potency. It immediately marks up the listening experiencing, immersing the listeners in ways that are reminiscent of The Mountain Goats, Steven, Crosby, and Nash, and the like. His latest single especially, ‘Highway Star’ is a spilling country/ acoustic rock track that is made resplendent with neo-classical violins and an accessorizing orchestra. The instrumental vigor and grandeur matches the loftiness of the song’s theme. Kennedy’s vocal sentiments thrive in this setting. The raw folk stylings of the initial arc is driven to a nice acoustic rock formation in the chorus. Striped with fluttering violins and dynamic beat motifs, it is viscerally melancholic and uplifting.
The artist celebrates the philosophies of the vagabond, a nomad with a passion for freedom. You’ll catch bohemian influences of the theme all across the track; in the multifaceted percussive spirit, in the vocal pride, in the anthemic violins, etc. With a fiery spread, he drives into the climax with an immense sense of loss and tragedy for the Highway Star is a lost myth.
