Some dreams may seem so fanciful and far from our reach that we never think we will achieve it. Devin Kennedy’s new EP SunDayDreams reminds listeners to chase after your desires, no matter how wild those wishes may seem. The sun drenched six-track collection highlights relatable themes of love, overcoming hardship and pursuing your passions. Each track washes over us with an enticing warm and wistful air.
“Silence” is a smoky, seductive tune narrating the need to end an argument. Begging the other person to break the silence, you can feel the deep longing for things to return to normal. “If we talk, talk it out babe/ we could be watching that sunset/ falling down like that sundress.” The descriptive imagery says it all. Continuing with the laid-back vibes, he once again pays homage to that summer attire with “Sundress”. This infectious offering releases the butterflies with vibrant, upbeat synths. He passionately sings of the beginnings of a beautiful love and we are hooked. The tender “Hurt U (Stripped) [live]” is a soft song reassuring a partner he is in it for the long haul. With stunning vocals gliding across gentle piano, his intoxicating honesty bursts through.
The Los Angeles-based talent is a singer, songwriter and producer as well. Collaborating with greats like Ryan Tedder and R3HAB outside of his own project, Kennedy has become a force in the industry. Seamlessly melding R&B and pop, fans have fallen in love with his lush signature sound. This unique EP possesses that same buttery brilliance we crave.
