Freak Folker Kenneth Minor Premieres New Single and Video "Happy Man"!

We're happy to have our friends of Everything Is Noise hosting the premiere of the new single and video Happy Man from German freak-folker Kenneth Minor! Kenneth Minor - Happy Man (official video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTPW5iKyBTM&feature=youtu.be

The song title Happy Man already summarizes what it's all about. About being happy. It remains to be seen whether this is viewed from a purely male or from a general human point of view, or whether both points of view are to be evaluated simultaneously. The text describes in a metaphorical way the state of a love relationship which, at least for the moment of writing and from the perspective of the songwriter, seems to be harmonious - and permanently oriented.

The danceable, driving and largely constant beat pulsates in the beats of two hearts and celebrates the desire for stability and courageous progress. The up-tempo folk song, which has been beat-heavy and powerfully staged from the very beginning, has the potential to hypnotically drill into the earcups of the listener.

Elementary are the striking, riff-heavy, alternately plucked and percussively struck acoustic guitar - carried by the rhythmic filigran playful - idiosyncratic driving drums and the minimalistic-monotone-melodic bass movement, which form a solid foundation and thus underline the intention of the lyrics.

The musical arrangement of Happy Man focused on the essentials and the sparse instrumentation radiate a healthy lightness on the one hand and yet a melancholic undertone shines through at all times.
