The track is the TikTok personalities first major song release.
Kevin Atwater is an act that, as is immediately clear on his debut release, has a lot to offer the music scene with his unashamedly candid songwriting and catchy acoustic sound.
The artist sings from an unafraid and distinctly queer perpective, something that, in 2020, it’s a shame that this has to be held as a distinction. But this is what the artist does at a time where so many others can’t or won’t, and it is done in a captivating and engrossing manner.
Latest single ‘Freckles’ is a love-sick ballad about queer affection and longing, and one where the artist tries to capture the uncertainty of gay love in the lyrics. The track is unique, it flows nicely and despite its stripped back nature it never feels boring or short of ideas. Kevin Atwater is an artist that clearly has a deft touch when writing about subjects close to their heart, and hopefully we’ll here more of the same in the near future.
