Kevin Blaze is cooking something special from his studio in Luxembourg with his latest single ‘Are You Down.’ It’s the kind of track that makes you question why we ever put music in boxes; an artist who has Pop, House, Latin and Afro-Pop and is breathing new life into it all.
‘Are You Down’ is about something we all know too well: love in the age of read receipts and notification alerts. Blaze tells you how something as small as a text or call can bring back to life a relationship that has become too far apart. His vocals glide along the beat, that line between reflection and celebration felt effortlessly.
Blaze really flexes his creative muscles in production. The track gets underway with atmospheric risers, before the track fuses Afro pop rhythms and Latin grooves, with Eastern mysticism ever so subtly creeping in. And it’s far from Blaze’s Hip-Hop producing days, which is exactly what makes it special; Blaze isn’t afraid to push boundaries.
‘Are You Down’ is one of those rare tracks that works anywhere; whether you’re losing yourself at a festival, in a club, or just sitting on your own thoughts. That’s what happens when an artist stops worrying about genres and focuses on feelings.
And this isn’t just another single, this is Kevin Blaze telling us where music can get when you throw away the rulebook. He’s just getting started, and from the sound of things, it sounds like he’s just getting started.
