Kyle Richardson unveils modern pop anthem, “Can You Hear Me”
Canadian pop artist Kyle Richardson is excited to share his new single “Can You Hear Me,” – which arrives on all digital streaming platforms on May 5th.
Written by Richardson and fellow Canadians Andrew Allen and Grammy-nominated Jeff Dawson (who also produced), “Can You Hear Me” is the first of three planned singles to land from the artist’s debut album, Louder Than Words, which arrives later this year.
Richardson says,
“We wanted to write a song about inspiration, making a statement, and living your best life. It needed to be nostalgic about the past but also optimistic about the future. In the studio, Jeff took the songwriting elements, and we put a fresh pop spin on the sound. I feel like ‘Can You Hear Me’ is a strong musical representation of who I am as an artist. It also sets the tone for the album’s broader themes of hope, good times, love, and friendship.”
Review
“Can You Hear Me” wastes no time jumping in the song, with Kyle’s vocals starting immediately, intertwined into the beat.
The anthemic lyrics immediately radiate a feeling of determination and empowerment. The use of vivid imagery, such as “writing our names in the clouds” and “raising our hands,” creates a powerful and uplifting mood that is enhanced by the rhythmic structure of the lyrics.
The repetitive yet catchy and engaging chorus creates a sense of urgency and insistence, and the use of the phrase “Everybody listen up” encourages the listener to pay attention and engage with the message of the song.
The lyrics in the second half of the chorus – “If we didn’t have tomorrow, we would only have tonight / Show me that you’re ready and we’ll do it up right,” conveys the idea of embracing the present and making the most out of the moment.
Overall, the song’s lyrics encourage listeners to embrace life, while Kyle’s passionate vocals, along with the upbeat vibe of the track, do a great job of captivating the listener, and motivating them to live life to the fullest.
