Days after Lucy Dacus teased fans by posting flyers in cities advertising a “Kissing Lessons” hotline, she’s finally dropped the track of the same name.
Complete with a video of a pre-teen dancing around her bedroom in a feather boa and killing time with a Gameboy, “Kissing Lessons” kicks off with a crunchy guitar riff and Dacus’ vocals. The track was recorded during the sessions for her recent album Home Video, a time capsule of the songwriter’s upbringing in Richmond, Virginia.
“Kissing Lessons” follows Dacus’ “Thumbs Again,” a full-band version of “Thumbs.” Both singles will be released as a seven-inch single, out June 3.
Dacus will be featured on Third Man’s upcoming Vault Package of Carole King in Central Park. The live 1973 show will be accompanied by her covers of “Home Again” and “It’s Too Late.” She’ll have a Central Park show of her own on July 21, with Hop Along serving as the opener. She’ll continue touring behind Home Video on Feb. 9.
Ovrkast and Niontay are quickly becoming two of the most promising new voices in hip hop today. On Wednesday, the two artists came together to release a fresh collaboration titled "Wata." The song is built around a dreamy and hypnotic beat that gives both rappers plenty of space to stand out. The chorus is memorable and highlights the strong writing talent they both bring to the table. Their delivery feels sharp and confident throughout, and the overall energy of the track creates a smooth, enjoyable atmosphere. Anyone who already follows Niontay and Ovrkast will likely find this team up worth the listen. With a release like this, it would not be surprising to see more music from the pair in the near future.
