The latest track from singer-songwriter Keir is a beautifully produced, soulful piece of experimental pop. 'Live This Way' mixes noisy, ambient sound with bouncing percussion, thick bass synths and an impressively acrobatic voice. Keir can move from the unique tone of his lower ranger to the explosive, anthemic quality at the top of his voice. He explains, “‘Live This Way’ is a human song about freedom, breaking down barriers and ridding yourself of the chaos and the doubt. It’s about defiance and that human necessity to live without constraints, without anxiety or worry”. Its uplifting tone is much needed at the moment, and the power of this track was the perfect way for Keir to keep impressing audience after the response to his debut single, ‘Shiver’, in the tail end of 2019. -Dan Peeke [Photo credit: Felix Zimmer]
