Kidnap unveils his third single, Sea Breeze, which is set for release on September 6th. The new single bridges the gap between classical elements and club-ready house music with a display of phenomenal musicality, and hooks listeners from the first tone to the last. The single is driven by a rhythmic beat and powerful bassline that marks Kidnap’s return to the club realm, laced with a touch of strings – an overarching theme throughout the forthcoming album. The single is masterfully crafted. Sea Breeze embodies both Kidnap’s finesse and club heritage and has quickly become a fan favourite in Kidnap’s recent DJ sets.
When asked to share his thoughts on the single, Kidnap states, “Often when writing club music, I find what emerges to be all too serious and that my musical identity has been lost. In this song, I strove to counterbalance the surly baseline with the dancing strings of pioneering Irish fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh. The result, I hope, is a club focused track with a playful edge.”
