Kevin Holliday from Brooklyn is still making his own way in left-of-centre pop with his new song, "Expensive Taste." Holliday first made a name for himself with his 2021 EP OMNI. He is known for his colourful songwriting and strange style. Now he's back with a song that mixes '80s funk with modern pop, which sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his career.
The main thing about "Expensive Taste" is that it has a catchy beat. The production has a fun, retro vibe thanks to the boots-and-cats drumbeat, the subtle synth textures, and the bassline that steals the show. The funk-inspired base of the music makes it sound familiar, but Holliday's sharp, modern edge gives it a new feel. Chasen Smith made the song, and his touch keeps the arrangement tight, clean, and impossible to resist dancing to.
The song's lyrics talk about the conflict between wanting things and the emotional effects that come with it. Holliday tells the story from two points of view: one is about trying to impress others by having too much stuff, and the other is about taking what you want without feeling bad about it, even if it means leaving someone else behind. The tension between charm and selfishness gives the otherwise light-hearted, funk-driven vibe more depth, making it more than just a party song.
Holliday's delivery is what holds everything together. His playful charm shines through in every line, moving between smooth singing and catchy hooks. The performance seems easy but is actually planned, which gives the song both personality and polish. The song's well-written structure and this are proof that he is getting better at both writing and performing.
Kevin Holliday shows he's ready to take centre stage on his own terms with "Expensive Taste." The single is a sure-fire way to show off what makes him unique: a bold mix of funk, humour, and modern creativity. Holliday is well on his way to becoming one of the most exciting names in the new wave of alternative pop as he keeps gaining popularity.
