“The Kids” by Animal Souls stirs timeless reverie on trust and innocence

Animal Souls

Imagine the sensation of rediscovering a script enclosed in a bottle, written decades ago, and finding its meaning both haunting and beautiful in its ambiguity. That’s why “The Kids,” the latest single from Animal Souls, feels like a reflective nostalgic treasure of lost sentiments reborn with timely relevance. Penned over three decades prior by the project’s mastermind, Michael Fisher, this song is a tender melodic tribute to the innocence of childhood and the inevitable complexity life brings. Despite the original meaning fading with time, its core message remains strikingly resonant, evoking the purity of beginnings and illustrating how life’s experiences mold our perceptions.

Musically, “The Kids” embodies a sense of gentle storytelling skillfully interwoven through a layered yet tapestry of intimate instrumentation that blends folk, rock, and orchestral influences. True to Animal Souls’ ethos, the arrangement isn’t tied to a single genre, allowing the overarching message of the song to dictate its sonic expression. Michael Fisher’s proficiency as a bassist and production expertise shines brilliantly here, creating a lush, immersive soundscape that benefits from the mastering expertise of Greg Mindorf. The collaboration with talented musicians from Fraser Valley enriches the track with warmth and authenticity, transforming it into a heartfelt dialogue rather than merely a performance.

The song’s delicate equilibrium of vulnerability and wisdom establishes it as a remarkable addition to Animal Souls’ expanding repertoire. It’s the type of track that invites introspection, nudging listeners to reflect on their transitions from innocence to experience.

With “The Kids,” Michael Fisher reaffirms that his late-blooming foray into a full-time musical career was meant to be. The subtle synth swells evoke a nostalgic ambiance, pulling listeners into a hazy, dreamlike recollection of their memories. The gently strummed rhythm juxtaposed with wistful melodies underscores the beauty and fragility inherent in the human experience. Don’t just listen; feel its profound emotional imprint.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
