Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to The Lightning Kids latest single, ‘All Of Those Nights – Santa Monica Mix.’
From the very first beat, this song grabs you with its catchy energy. Whilst displaying an infectious beat, there is a juxtaposing laidback weekend feel to the track, perfect for setting the mood. Tt’s the layers of sweet vocals and ambient synth that make it truly memorable. It’s no wonder that the band has been described as ‘the Retrowave London Grammar,’ as they blend Synthwave roots with nods to great Californian records by The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, with British influences including The 1975 & Pet Shop Boys.
Formed during lockdown 2021, The Lightning Kids have hit the ground running with their debut album, ‘All Of Those Nights.’ The album is heavily influenced by 1980s California and the endless summer nights riding in fast cars, dancing at amusement parks, and lying underneath the stars. The album tells the story of two star-crossed teenagers and their experiences of love, loss, heartbreak, and growing up.
Their new single, ‘All Of Those Nights – Santa Monica Mix,’ is a special new version of their album track, including new vocals, and is once again inspired by their love of 80s Californian pop and love songs. It’s the perfect song for cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway with your windows down, the sun setting behind you, and the wind blowing through your hair.
The Lightning Kids have captured the essence of 80s Californian pop and put their own spin on it. Their music is infectious, and it’s clear that they have a bright future ahead of them. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride with The Lightning Kids and their latest single, ‘All Of Those Nights – Santa Monica Mix.’
