We have written rather extensively about Cris Cap. Hailing from Germany, the talented songwriter and composer possesses a particular gift for elegant and luscious pop and soul anthems, a quality that we find in his music over and over again. Usually, he teams up with a carefully chosen singer from around the world, creating an artistic vision that’s always delightful and memorable. ‘Young Gun’ is Cap’s latest effort, a stunning slice of uplifting soul and groovy, buoyant funk elements.
Featuring Hudson Hayes’ earthy, potent vocals – directly from Nashville, Tennesse – ‘Young Gun’ sees the Düsseldorf-based creative mulling over whether love should be declared, not hidden inside us. A deeply relatable theme, the song reflects on the nature of lost love, especially anything that gets lost due to personal inaction. While this might sound like a melancholic theme, Cris Cap gives it a bubbly, bright outlook, making for an amusing and playful listening experience.
Delving into the inspiration behind the record, Cap explains: “I was that shy kid who couldn’t bring himself to say how he felt. Writing ‘Young Gun’ was a way to reconnect with that younger version of myself. I wanted to remind him—and anyone who has ever felt stuck in their own fears—that love is worth the risk.”
