Kidnap, London producer/DJ/multi – instrumentalist/lyricist, is back with new single ‘ Overgrown ’ (ft frequent collab partner Leo Stannard) , out now, heralding his upcoming second studio LP, out later this year (date & title TBA) on [PIAS] Électronique.
After the double – edged impact on his life of pandemic isolation and new baby, the album will chronicle the turning point from nostalgia for his partying days playing 100+ shows a year at top venues worldwide and releasing hits on Anjunadeep, Armada …, to welcoming his new role as a young father with a burst of creativity and a slew of new songs and club – enhancing cuts.
‘Overgrown’ ft. Leo Stannard: A swift, breaksy house beat interwoven with layers of melodic choral effect s , organ chords and heart – catching guitar notes support Stannard ’ s voice with its yearning, emotional edge showcasing the wistful lyrics. Says Kidnap aka Matt Relton, ‘’ Overgrown ’ is about missing the blood brother connections you make when you’re young and partying hard – sad at the passing of those times, gratitude to have been granted them.’
The former ‘ Kidnap Kid ’ (after a youthful prank kidnap of himself blew up into a major incident) has grown, and is still growing, as is his fanbase and talent. So much more to come in the near future .
