Setting the tone with enigmatic guitar and a synthetic cerebral frequency before the song expands into a more robust soundscape, Kellan. opens his latest single Annie Adderall with the assertive and empowered lyrics, “I’m back with the action, got them packed to the back from an anthem, and uh, more fans to the ransom…“

We are already hypnotized by the intricate production of Annie Adderall, and speaking on the lyricism Kellan. says, “The lyrics were inspired by that feeling of being in front of a crowd, rocking the stage, and going absolutely bananas with the audience.”

“It’s really song about grieving what we lost during the pandemic, and longing for that feeling to come back–all disguised as a high-energy pop-rap anthem, because hey, that’s the feeling, that’s the vibe, that’s the M.O.”, continues the rising artist from Seattle.

Annie Adderall exhibits a high octane pop-rap soundscape with anthemic energy, and the song contracts and expands cohesively building emotive energy and anthemic vibes. The rap verse from Webb Wavvy maintains the pace of the song, demonstrating how both artist have exceptional flow and delivery.

The pair met in 2017 on a podcast about the Seattle hip-hop scene and have been collaborating since.

Kellan. is largely influenced by the lyrics and vocal performances by Mac Miller, Blackbear, Logic, Anderson Paak, and Childish Gambino, with melodic and pop inspiration from pop-punk bands Fall Out Boy and Blink-182. On the production side, he draws electronic inspiration from Odesza, Diplo, Griz, and Robert Delong, but it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own.

We have added Annie Adderall to our New Music Spotlight playlist and have been exploring Kellan.’s wider discography including Awol and Free Girl.
