Setting the tone with an intricate synth, Kinga opens Something’s Gotta Give with a pristine pop vocal, with a nostalgic yet timeless edge, and needless to say, we are in awe.
The opus expands into a charming, vibrant and fierce electronica bop as the Canadian artist takes us on an expressive journey with his evocative prose and intentional depth.
Kinga first rose to fame in the 80s with his single, Sexy Boy, which was since re-released in 2022. We learn that reviewers compared it to Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive, and the star’s voice has been justly compared to Boy George and George Michael.
Something’s Gotta Give is written by Kinga and two longtime writing partners, designed to play upon his 80s and 90s influences. He confesses, “The purpose of the song is to entertain. I am not looking to reinvent the wheel, or make any sort of statement in particular.”
Speaking on his influences, he says, “Music icons like George Michael and Prince moulded my musicality and syncopation of lyrics. My goal is to follow suit. Something’s Gotta Give is a basic love song. I spotlight the sometimes complicated facets of being in love.”
Whilst we appreciate that intention and transparency, what Kinga is doing as an artist does feel unique to his own design! The accompanying music video for Something’s Gotta Give showcases Kinga in his element, and we are transfixed!
We have added Something’s Gotta Give to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the various versions of Sexy Boy!
