Keir releases irresistible new single “Lemonade”
Lemonade, Keir’s new single, provides the perfect introduction to the alternative pop artist if you’ve never heard him before. Featuring thrashing drums, anthemic instrumentation and irresistible vocals, the track will be sure to pick you up and leave you wanting more. Accompanying is an even more impactful music video.
Lemonade utilizes a common theme running through much of Keir’s material – mental health. For four years, Keir acted as a support worker at Dimensions in Bath, working with people who have autism and severe learning difficulties. For the record, he absolutely loved it, feeling “a deep connection to the people we supported and the darkness they felt.” Keir thinks this is because struggles with mental health run in his family. “A family member was sectioned when she was younger,” says Keir now, “and there’s something about dark inner turmoil I’ve always found an affinity with. My intentions are not to glamourise darkness, but to shine a light towards it. Music is my way of connecting the dots I suppose.”
Bristol-based Keir is already receiving huge and enthusiastic support from Spotify playlists “duvet day,” “The Lovely Little Playlist” and BBC Introducing. We, for one, cannot wait to see where he’ll take this.
