Evan Kennedy, the Dublin-based artist and producer known for his work with industry giants such as Coolio, Tebi Rex, Versatile, Offica, and members of the legendary hip-hop group D12, is no stranger to the music scene. However, his debut single, "Francis," marked his foray into the limelight as a solo artist. Now, with his eagerly anticipated follow-up, "Pearphone," Evan Kennedy is set to take centre stage with a unique blend of electronic indie pop.
As a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Kennedy has spent his career expertly crafting sounds for other artists. With an impressive credit list, he has worked across various genres and musical talents. Now, he's ready to unveil his own distinctive sound and vision, showcasing his musical versatility. "Francis," his debut single, hinted at the uncharted territories of his creativity.
With "Pearphone," Evan continues to push the boundaries of musical expression. His music defies easy categorization, combining contemporary pop elements with indie pop instrumentation. The result is a captivating blend of perky melodies paired with a nostalgic lyrical take on adolescence.
Evan Kennedy delves deeper into the meaning of "Pearphone," explaining, "It plays on the feeling of being a kid and staying up all night texting until your phone dies. Your family might complain about you never looking up, but they wouldn't understand because you're infatuated with having a phone, your own friend group, and love interests."
