Kenneth Qua – “Two Of Us”
This Vienna-based singer and songwriter started his career as a street musician, honing his craft and uploading acoustic covers to YouTube. He played in several bands, both in Singapore as in Boston, USA, most recently in pop-rock outfit Doves & Ravens, with whom he released an album “Wonder” in 2016. Influenced by Bruno Mars and John Legend, he debuted solo with “Ghost” early this year.
With an infectious funky bounce and a touch of hiphop, his new single is an ingenious melting pot of musical influences. Expanding the retro beat with 90s R&B synths and playful fingersnaps adds an alluring nostalgic feel, while soaking it all with a splash of modern pop. And with his soulful vocals singing about the feeling of invincibility in romance, this exciting new groove is utterly irresistible.
