Exuding a new breed of inventive flair and displaying an impressive propensity for genretranscendence, Kēvens, the dynamo from Miami, has breathed life into an ingenious concoction of styles in his latest single, Legal Dreamers. In a scene often rife with isolation and compartmentalization, Kēvens daringly utilizes the transformative potency of rhythm and melody to rally his listeners around a shared sense of belonging.
His raw, deep-seated passion for music is palpable in every beat, every strum, wrapping listeners in a comforting blanket of healing energy that fuels his self-appointed mission to become the eminent ‘Keeper of Dub.’ His trek into the pulsating heart of the music industry began in the neon glow of Miami’s club scene, his turntable skills honed amidst the city’s late-night revelries.
However, his true sonic identity was unveiled when he linked up with Richard and Anthony Booker to forge the path-blazing progressive reggae outfit, Le Coup. Legal Dreamers is a tapestry that masterfully intertwines the dynamic strands of dub and drum ‘n’ bass, all underpinned by the vivacious spirit of reggae.
The result is a musical journey that mirrors Kēvens’ embracing message. Shedding light on his vision for Legal Dreamers, Kēvens draws a compelling picture: ‘This track is a unified shout for collective action, a call to arms aimed at illuminating a path towards a brighter future. My hope is to kindle a domino effect of inspiration, promoting mental fortitude, healing within our communities, and reigniting a sense of unity through the transcendent language of music.’ Legal Dreamers invites listeners to embark on an aural odyssey comprising lush drum ‘n’bass, virtuoso vocals, an inspired fusion of rock-reggae dub, and infectious dance beats.
This vibrant soundscape, set against a canvas of striking visual cues, is a sensory rollercoaster that leaves an indelible impression. Kēvens’ knack for crafting mesmerizing, positively charged melodies has propelled him onto global stages, sharing the limelight with a stellar roster of luminaries, including Steven Tyler, Ice Cube, Tiestö, Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, and The Jacksons.
