DeeAnn to release her soulful single “Kiss of Life” later this month. This journalist has the scoop (based on an advanced press copy of the song).
She is able to dust off Sade’s Top 10 R&B single “Kiss of Life,” and give it a fresh and unique twist. This arrangement is sultry, vivacious, blues-soaked, and jazzy. She collaborated on this song with iconic producer Ted Perlman.
The song consists of inspirational imagery of an angel coming down to earth to help facilitate joy and bring love into people’s lives; moreover, the tune’s theme aligns perfectly with DeeAnn’s personal spiritual journey in recent years.
DeeAnn allows her rich, harking voice to shine on this song, as she showcases her jazz scatting abilities (reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald). The lyrics are timely and relevant, and it is filled with energy and soaring melodies.
While the lyrics of “Kiss of Life” may romance in mind, to DeeAnn, it has an understanding of angel visitations ever since her son William passed away in a motorcycle accident at the age of 23 – shortly after she had completed most of the tracks on her second album It’s My Time, which was released back in 2023.
This is what makes “Kiss of Life,” an even better song… it can have multiple and different meanings to so many people.
She consistently proves that she is one of the most underrated female artists in the contemporary music landscape.
Her new single “Kiss of Life” will be available on all major music digital platforms worldwide on June 20th.
