Get ready to enter fresh and life-changing rock territories, courtesy of ‘Crown’, the latest effort of American artist Kevin Whitaker. The high-octane, electrifying record features a sound more akin to Marylin Manson, exploring electronic undertones and punchy, robotic drumming. Whitaker’s gritty and raw vocals deliver a fierce and unforgettable listening experience, catching the listener into their own sonic universe.
That’s quite a change for the Lebanon (US) native. Active since 2021, the talented singer and songwriter has been focusing on mellower and eclectic electronic pop. While retaining his signature vocals, it is clear Whitaker is ready to embark on a new sonic direction, perhaps marking a deeper change throughout his identity and life perspectives.
Channelling a darker, industrial tone, ‘Crown’ sets the bar high for future releases: the record feels well written and well produced, a perfect match for Kevin’s particular vocal character. Championed by Radium Records and sapiently produced by Bradley Denniston, the song seeks to empower the listener in fighting, a theme that will greatly resonate with the listeners in these confusing times. Describing the inspiration behind the track, Whitaker explains: “Let’s face it, we are all tired and done with this world we are living in. It really sucks being in this hell hole. We need to put our crown back on and fight!! And take back our lives and live to the fullest”.
