FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured single, ‘Wear a Mask’ by Kb8, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts five minutes and eighteen seconds and sits at a steady 98bpm.
“Wearing a mask to try to prevent this virus is no different than wearing a condom to prevent the HIV virus...as we all know covid is airborne and therefore much more dangerous. Wear a mask people!”
The track commences with an eleven second instrumental introduction that features an ominous foundational riff that sets the melodic tone for the proceeding verse. The main percussive beat kicks in at the 0:12 mark and resultantly drives the steady rhythmic flow of the single. The vocal color is stylistic and free-flowing; seamlessly synchronising with the instrumentation.
The lyricism addresses the current Covid-19 pandemic and holds no punches when projecting Kb8’s personal opinions regarding the wearing of a mask to prevent the spread of the virus. The repetition of the main “Wear your mask” hook line, when combined with the dark tone of the main riff, form a catchy melody that will definitely stick in your mind after the track has finished.
From the well balanced instrumentation and catchy hook, to the authentic vocal performance, fans of Kb8, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this single.
