Teenage RnB Trio kid apollo Release Their Visceral Debut Single/Video "let go of things i said"
Brixton, London based teenage trio kid apollo have released their captivating debut single "let go of things i said".
Consisting of singer and producer Jimmy HM and twin brothers (and producers) Felix and Theo Ratigan, the outfit's first release "let go of things i said" is a visceral, hushed R&B/pop hybrid, suggesting exciting things to come from the young trio.
Written and produced by the band themselves, "let go of things i said" arrives alongside an accompanying video, also directed and filmed by the band.
Speaking on the release of the new track, singer Jimmy HM said: "‘let go of things i said’ tells the simple story of two people that rely heavily on each other yet refuse to accept it. It explains how the small things that happen between two people are often what breaks a relationship down."
Opening with a meandering warped acoustic guitar riff, the song then expands beautifully with the addition of subtle keys and warm electronics, as Jimmy laments a relationship as it tears at the seams: "she don't see my side / i don't read the signs / she go do what she want / we be different people".
Commenting further on their goals, the band said: "We're expressing our experiences within the way we live through our music. We aim to never restrict ourselves to one genre as this wouldn’t reflect the type of artists we are. Whether the songs are talking about relationships or our last function, all we really want when someone first listens to our music is for them to be in their own space and get lost in the songs."
