D.C. alt-pop artist Kanii has released new single and video "Skin" and, true to form, it's a provocative, slightly avant-garde slice of pop brilliance.
"'skin' carves out new sonic territory for Kanii, but whether he’s exploring R&B, club beats, or something closer to pop punk, his songs remain youthful, restless, and undeniably catchy," a statement reads. "Over driving percussion and vibrant chords, he lets loose the emotional poetry that’s become his trademark: 'Do you feel my veins and arteries? The shortness in my lungs when you're in my skin? / The blood it flows inside of me, your heart is just enough when you're in my skin.'"
The song is quite upbeat, yet the lyrics are gleefully oppressive, tightening around the listener for the duration of the track.
The video is appropriately moody. We see Kanii chilling in an apartment with a particularly lovely Dalmatian. Then we see a bunch of peeps jumping on a bed.
