kntrlr "XXX"

 

One of the reasons why I started this blog is because I wanted to highlight songs that, in my opinion, have not been given the opportunity to hit a lot of ears. As to how well this blog accomplishes such is probably dubious at best, but listen, hit songs are hit songs because they're popular. And yeah, I will occasionally be mentioning songs that are/were/or will become hits, I'm not immune to pop music.

But this isn't a hit, even though it should be.

At this point this track is about 10 years old, so reviving it for the masses is unlikely. That's too bad, because this track, in my humble opinion, is perfect. I have a predispositon to eletronic music, so I may be a bit biased here, but my wonderful partner and our daughters belt out the lyrics to this song any time we hear it. That means something, doesn't it?

The keyboards, the lyrics, the passionate vocals that are so much fun to sing along with just work on so many levels. 

Like a lightning bolt, kntrlr burst onto the scene with their album, and then almost as suddenly disappeared.

I wonder what happened to them?

At least we have this song, and I will share it with anyone who is willing to listen. It's just that good.
