“Pretty Boys” from KiKi Holli is a pop rock meets dance anthem that transcends genres, appealing to music lovers of all backgrounds.

KiKi says, “I see this song as a nod to the LGBTQ+ community. It’s about finding your strength and power in that community, in friendship and on the dance floor.” The singer’s signature vocals soar over thumping basslines and energetic synth hooks, inviting listeners to embrace self-expression and confidence. The lyrics explore themes of attraction, allure & self-empowerment, encouraging everyone to be their own version of a “Pretty Boy.”

“Pretty Boys” is KiKi Holli at her absolute best . We are witnessing with “Pretty Boys “ an artist who is truly coming into her own.

Produced by Grammy nominated producer Ethan Allen, “PRETTY BOYS” boasts a production quality that’s as impressive as it is innovative.

We have a feeling that we will have “Pretty Boys” on constant repeat. “Pretty Boys “ is a song you will be dancing to long after the music has stopped.

We fell instantly for the appropriately and very intentionally titled “All My Friends Are Dead” and “Watch Your Heart Break,” and both are fraught with the lived-in experience that brought them to this moment. It’s a moment of clarity, triumph, and progress, and for downtalker, featuring longtime friends, collaborators, and Massachusetts natives Darin Thompson (lead vocals, synth, bass, guitar), Justin Mantell (synth, guitar, bass, backing vocals), and Matt Freake (Drums, percussion, backing vocals). On Friday, September 22, downtalker make their live show debut, opening Fiddlehead’s record release party at Royale in Boston.

Both of these tracks, mixed by Juan Pieczanski (Small Black, Juan’s Basement) are upbeat in nature but serious in tone, as they lyrically explore the addiction and recovery experienced by downtalker’s Darin Thompson. The hypnotic “All My Friends Are Dead” takes us deep into the recovery process, while the yearning “Watch Your Heart Break” calls out to other addicts that it’s not too late to seek help.

“Music is part of my recovery and part of my healing now and I’m hoping that by being honest about my life, all my experiences will shine a light on this disease and also make others feel like they are not alone. We aren’t alone. We have each other.” — Darin Thompson.

There is this deeply rooted authenticity that comes through loud and clear with downtalker. It’s an unfiltered truth that comes with beats and melodies that move your feet and your soul .

We can not wait for music from downtalker, they definitely have our full attention.
