Declan McKenna - British Bombs (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance

Declan McKenna - British Bombs. An exclusive live performance for Vevo.
Please note, this video contains strobe effects and rapidly flashing lights.
A few years ago, Declan McKenna was somewhat of a rarity - a first-time artist arriving with numerous skills. Maybe it was the biting observations on poverty and religion of “Brazil” that had people deeming him an upstart. Maybe it was the parade of hooks the Hertfordshire native sprinkled throughout his songs. McKenna’s 2017 ‘What Do You Think About My Car?’ debut was packed with angular guitar parts and equally jagged philosophical thoughts. His follow-up record, ‘Zeros’ was delayed because of the pandemic, but now it’s here. His current mullet and makeup aren’t the only indicators that time has passed. One listen to the anti-war lyrics of “British Bombs” and the ego death going down in “You Better Believe” reveals a formidable songwriter who’s added depth to his always-impressive craftsmanship. First up on the performance list: "Rapture."

I think Yemen is a known thing it’s been like that since the 80s so...

[@____666___]

@@pedrosaresarces8381 Yemen is experiencing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The UN had verified the deaths of at least 7,700 civilians by March 2020, with most caused by Saudi-led coalition air strikes. The United Kingdom and the United States support the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen primarily through arms sales and technical assistance. France had also made recent military sales to Saudi Arabia. We need to speak about what's happening currently because people think it is still a matter from the 70s.

[@vesselanew]

@@zenozeno608 Hi! We seem to have forgotten each other. I hope not really. I would like to remind you for myself with my new discovery Jack Kays. I noticed it a long time ago, but I wanted to see if it was worth it. He is different, sounds innovative - alternative, hip-hop or in a word this is something new, songs engaging with real life themes. I like his casual kind and his voice. I hope you will like his songs. - kzbin.info/aero/PLxp9PCJvAa-jENKiJNlKlAFZDKtuD555M ¡! And as always, an underrated talent ?¿

[@zenozeno608]

@@vesselanew I don’t think I have the tools to fully appreciate Jack Kays. I like the sorrow shades in his songs. Rather than hip hop, pieces like Barely Alive, Bottom of the Bottle, Morbid Mind... some American country/folk tradition?

[@vesselanew]

@@zenozeno608 I don't know what tools are needed to like or dislike a performer? That's pretty weird. I don't know, maybe it's some kind of folklore, as you say. American country music is unknown to me. But the music of Jack Kays and just those sad shades fill me with nostalgically inspiring optimism. Hmmm, that's weird too, you will say, but at the moment I like Jack very much. I think he's still looking for himself among the different genres of music ...
