It’s onerous to come back into Kiss Of Life’s new digital single Stay, Love, Snicker with out the impression of their severely misguided livestream rattling round in your head. That occasion, filmed and launched a couple of weeks in the past, left a nasty style in my mouth and makes even the title “Stay, Love, Snicker” really feel patronizing and tone deaf. I’m not a fan of “cancel tradition” and consider everybody deserves the possibility to make amends for previous errors, however there are some issues which are onerous to un-see.
It could definitely assist if Stay, Love, Snicker was a greater track. As regular, the women carry out it nicely. Their virtuosic vocal supply jogs my memory of the powerhouse R&B of the late 90’s. It could be good to listen to that strategy driving an equally partaking track. As an alternative, Stay, Love, Snicker is an entire bunch of nothing. Judging from its collage-like video, that is primarily the album-ending fan track that usually will get chucked onto idol releases. These might be pleasing — particularly should you’re a giant fan of the artist — however extra typically really feel extraneous. In these circumstances, it simply appears like an odd selection.
With that stated, Stay, Love, Snicker would probably operate higher on the finish of a really robust album. By itself, I can’t discover a lot cause to return to it. And, I worry that the identical is perhaps stated in regards to the group themselves except there’s some form of evolution in each their music and their consciousness.
