Los-Angeles based producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and emcee Calvin Valentine is preparing to release his newest album Keep Summer Safe on September 14th via Mello Music Group. In anticipation, he shares another single entitled “KSS”, a feel-good track highlighted by Valentine’s precise lyricism and a harmonically-rich hook.
When asked about the new single, Calvin told Highsnobiety, “I wrote ‘KSS’ on January 1st 2018. I had the flu and was feeling down and out physically. But my spirits were high cause I had seen my two favorites John Mayer and Dave Chappelle perform at The Forum for New Years also just ate some ganja food. I forced myself to go in the studio cause I always want to make something the 1st day of the new year,” adding, “I ended up making the beat out of a song my girlfriend (Danielle) had made. Once the beat was together the hook just popped into my head. It took all my energy to record it but I kept those recordings for the final version cause you can feel the emotions in those takes. The song is my MJ Flu Game.”
