Let us introduce you to Girlhood, the collaborative project of UK producer Christian Pinchbeck. At the beginning of this summer, he returned with a new single, ‘Get Ready,’ and the announcement of a forthcoming album titled ‘Hot Mess.’ Now, he’s delivering a second taste of the anticipated record with ‘Kissing You.’
For his new album, he decided to work mainly with one songwriter, Amber Temple, whose stunning vocals can be heard on both new tracks. Amber’s vocals provide an airy and breezy texture against the song’s upbeat production. It takes us back to the early 2000s and perfectly mixes that style of R&B, dance, and pop music. ‘Kissing You’ is a perfect late-summer banger that makes you want to fall in love on a beach in a sun-kissed destination. We’ll be playing this smash on repeat, and it truly deserves to be heard by many!
About the upcoming album Girlhood mentions:
“The album subconsciously reflected the music I grew up around during my early teenage years that my mum would play relentlessly in the car and on the home stereo. The likes of Moloko, Ace Of Base and Marvin Gaye. When starting, I decided to not worry about what genre I was making, but just make each song as good as it could be, and it wasn’t until reflecting on it at the end could I see where it all came from, which I found super interesting, even if it is a bit of a hot mess! Hence the name!
Making the album felt like therapy, the place where I can escape any worries from the outside world and being in recovery. Whenever I had negative thoughts, I would just go and work on the album. I started the album in rehab, as I was shut away for a month with only my laptop and my thoughts, away from my family and baby boy. Therefore, it’s an extremely personal album for me.”
‘Kissing You‘ is out now on all platforms. ‘Hot Mess’ arrives later this year via Team Talk Records.
