KRIS PETERSEN, DEBUTS NEW COUNTRY ROCK SINGLE AND OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME (FEAT. IRENE PARIS)
OUT NOW!
December 11, 2021
Feels Like The First Time (featuring Irene Paris) is the debut country rock single from brilliant Australian artist, Kris Petersen, released through X-Music, and is out now across digital platforms.
Written and produced by Petersen and featuring X-Music label mate, Irene Paris, Feels Like The First Time, was inspired by a pub crawl through the roof top bars of Singapore and the hypothetical scenario of being able to live a lifestyle where that is the norm. A song about unreciprocated love and hope for escaping the “friend zone” through the love interest’s sudden realization, it’s a story told from the male perspective. It has a carefree attitude to the responsibilities of adulthood and the ongoing party, is the only goal.
