Kev Kelly Releases Energetic New Single, "Faster"

"I hate when couples call each other their “partner in crime”. My guy, you and Trent are going to chipotle, you’re not committing federal offenses. So what if you actually committed a crime? What if you and your “PIC” robbed a goddamn bank together. Bet you’d turn on one another real quick huh? Money feels better when you don’t have to share it. F*ck outta here." - a direct quote from Kev Kelly about the inspiration for "Faster", his latest single release. The song chronicles a relationship, metaphorically compared to a Bonnie and Clyde style heist, getaway. Clearly a toxic relationship, Kelly describes the feeling of being an accomplice to the disaster, being metaphorically held by gunpoint in the situation, feeling emotionally forced to press on, together. As his quote expresses, it's easy to call your significant-other a "PIC", but what happens when the shit actually hits the fan? How do the feelings change? How solid is your relationship then? The song poses the question, whether to go down with ship, go down for the ship, or jump ship. When love is destructive and toxic, what can you really do?

Dynamic production, a dreamy synthetic melody, gritty lyrics and stellar vocal performance make "Faster" a perfect Alt/Pop jam. Fun and personal, the track is 100% relatable and listenable, no matter what genre you enjoy.
