Let’s talk about this freshest single from Sean Kennedy, fresh out of the oven from his newly signed label, Rexius Records: “Let It Go.” It is a track full of warmth and emotion, with rhythm and infectious vibes, all in indie pop bliss.
Sean opens this track with a dreamy soundscape, almost the same way the first cool breeze of autumn welcomes his fans into a world of his own creation. Then, he eases it into the more dynamic, indie-pop vibe that he has come to establish for his fans. Starting with breathy vocal chops and a softly modulated bass, the scene is set for a reflective journey in this track.
Recreated with drum, synth, and string layering, Sean gives “Let It Go” an effervescent feel while still touching on that throwback touch. He sings with a lot of emotional clarity about the end days of a relationship gone by: “I was staring out the window at our favorite spot / Too caught up in my emotions / Missed the warning shot.” You can feel the intimacy in his voice, the pain, more than anything else. More than a performance, it’s Sean sharing a piece of his heart.
This song marks an important personal milestone for Sean, as it represents the final farewell to the chapter in his life that leads him forward to turn the page. And it’s hard not to see it through, with his very personal investment making the song resonate with anyone that has to face the challenge of moving on from the past. On this single, he makes an appeal at synth-pop once more, with the production aid coming from this time from Kazakhstan with KRYNE.
“Let It Go” is written so masterfully in a flowing story that details Sean Kennedy’s journey and transformation not only as an artist but even more so as a human being. It’s a painful journey to an end that has hope for something new. Whether you have tracked Sean over the years, or you are just having information on his music, this one gives one good reason: probably it’s that moment to reflect on what one needs to do away with in life.
All right, pop in those headphones, hit play, and let Sean Kennedy carry you away as he lets go and moves on. Your playlist—and maybe even your heart—will thank you.
