Setting the tone with a cerebral, pulsating frequency, Kenny Sharp opens Nights Like This with astral, atmospheric vocals, singing the title of the track. Fused with a playful guitar, the rising artist shares charming prose, laced with poetic prowess and situational, yet metaphorical constructs.
The opus expands into a warm, indie-pop meets soft-rock energy with nods to the 60s and groove. We appreciate the timeless nature of the piece and nuanced nostalgia, creating a dreamy, contemporary soul vibe that we cannot get enough of.
Lyrically, Nights Like This is designed to celebrate “the unsung heroes of the nightlife industry.” We learn that it is “a tribute to the bartenders, bar backs, servers, and musicians who keep the party going all night long. They work tirelessly to make sure everyone has a good time, yet they rarely get the chance to let their hair down and join in on the fun.”
We love this offering, and appreciate the conscious nature of the creation of the song. It definitely inspires us to head to Nashville and support the local arts scene! The guitar performances as masterful, and we are in awe of Kenny’s charismatic vocal timbre and the choral, power-pop approaches to the choruses.
Nights Like This has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Kenny Sharp‘s wider discography including Fall In Love, and The Breeze.
