Kiss the Girl's new rock album, "Touch," is a celebration of feeling and
being alive, with songs conveying both power and vulnerability: "my friends
are nowhere/it may not be fair/but you can only suck it up and live it…I, I,
I feel so alive!" (Alive)
"Unabashedly sexy…fresh and irresistible" (SF Weekly), Kiss the Girl's music
will move you. You'll experience rock with a touch of old R&B/soul and
electronica: Passionate Rock meets the Urban Underground. Emotionally raw
and sexy, and intellectually stimulating, it's the thinking person's sexy
rock music.
Songwriter Szeles (saylesh) writes about love and loss sincerely, as someone
who's still willing to keep an open heart and experience it again rather
than hide in cynical cool. Remaining genuinely romantic, the songs offer no
easy answers, but instead find meaning in mystery and a lust for life. "Let
me take you for a spin/maybe we will sink or sin." (Ride)
Longing often builds to feverish crescendos: "Ah, don't set me free/I won't
let it be/I would walk through hell or fire or fear to turn you on." (To
Turn You On) But in the midst of the drama, you'll find unexpected and
subtle irony and humor: "You sigh and say you're too drunk to care/give me
three bad days and I'll meet you there." (You're My Child)
Kiss the Girl honestly explores the feelings and motivations that make us
human. |
