British rapper K.Kayne is back again with one more gentle, yet stormy, piece of contemporary hip hop that is full of his distinctive, delicious, and dark flair. ‘Hold Me Close’ only serves K.Kayne right. A display that he has a knack for creating a dynamic, immersive flow, and setting a vivid scene.
Based in the town of Reading, K.Kayne is a rapper who has quite swiftly managed to establish a scene with a healthy following behind him, having already dropped three highly well received singles. ‘Loco’, ‘Writing Stage’, and All Alone’ were successful stages for the rising artist to establish a sound that is steeped in emo darkness and drake’s smoothness, with an edgy side to his lyrics and deep delivery.
‘Hold Me Close’, the title of his latest single, is a chill piece of musically simple, lyrically dense emo rap. With a subtle atmosphere that revolves around a few somber chords, a solemn trap beat, and dark aesthetic, K.Kayne effortlessly creates an intoxicating atmosphere that is then further solidified with a catchy vocal motif. K.Kayne’s vocal delivery is gentle and lazy as ever, dripping with a confident presence that is the cherry on top.
‘Hold Me Close’ is not a song that takes a long time to establish itself, and it is not a song that claims to be doing something that has not been done before. Instead, K.Kayne has managed to create an incredibly entertaining atmosphere that’s vividly colored and easily recognizable as his own, and for that, we can not get over this track.
