On a brutally cold winter day, it’s natural to start longing for the summer, but it takes a certain kind of magic to actually put you in a summer frame of mind. Enter Kid Rock with the title track from his upcoming album, First Kiss. The single, released yesterday, is the kind of song that you crank up with the top down as you bask in the glory of a summer wind hitting you in the face.
One of the most fascinating things about Kid Rock is his ability to transcend genres, and yet, still hold the same appeal to fans with polar-opposite musical tastes. “First Kiss” is good, ole fashioned rock and roll with a country flavor that will have the same mass appeal as the classic, “All Summer Long.” Like “All Summer Long,” “First Kiss” takes you on a nostalgic journey, perfectly highlighted by Kid Rock’s soulful, raspy vocals.
For those who long for the simpler times of a bygone era, “First Kiss” is especially poignant. The song is as much about reveling in a carefree youth as it is about reminiscing about an actual first kiss. It also perfectly exemplifies how life has a way of changing your perspective as time goes by.
It doesn’t matter if you are a fan of hard rock or country, from the same generation as Kid Rock or not; “First Kiss” is an instant classic that will hook you in with its infectious melody and leave you feeling uplifted and ready for summer.
