Declan McKenna is a 20 year old British pop-rock artist who’s 2017 debut album is a breath of fresh air. McKenna blends singer-songwriter guitar music with alt-rock and even psychedelic-rock influences.
In 2014, at the age of 16, the artist released his third ever single, Brazil, in protest of FIFA and the world cup. The song peaked within the top 50 of a number of US billboard rock categories. It was later rereleased with his debut album.
McKenna’s music is exciting. It makes you feel good. It makes you want to dance (well it makes me want to dance). It definitely carries a young energy with it. The songwriting and production are executed masterfully to mask any immaturity from the young artist.
My favourite songs from this project are Brazil, Listen to Your Friends, and Why Do You Feel So Down?
