Alternative Rock and Pop Songstress Kendall Lake Has a New Banging Hit Out Dubbed “Reputation.”
With a musical path that was clearly laid out for her ever since she was of tender age, all Los Angeles-born singer and songwriter Kendall Lake had to do was follow, and she did, putting one foot ahead of the other, learning through the process, and finally making her mark with her breakthrough debut “Thought You Should” back in 2017 that introduced her to an eager fanbase that had been craving an artist as bold, audacious, emotive, and effortlessly powerful as Kendall Lake. She sings purely from the heart with raw and honest lyrics that reflect everything in life, borrowing hugely from her own experiences to infuse her music with a real, palpable touch that makes it relatable to her audiences.
Kendall is back, and this time she comes with a masterpiece nearing magical dubbed “Reputation,” a stunning concoction of sultry and alternative rock with a refreshingly haunting urban pop twist and unmissable Soulful and hip-hop sensibilities. It is an all-round performance that speaks volumes about her genre-bending creativity as well as her obvious knack for delivery!
The sweet-soundingly charming guitar melodies lay a mellifluent tone for the song as Kendall vocalizes soulfully and softly, prepping a listener’s mind before the urban-twisted, deep-phased beat is unleashed, punching right through a listener’s chest as Kendall’s gloriously full and sultry vocals make their presence felt over this upbeat foundation that is unrelenting.
She is bold with a voluptuous and provocative range and power, leading a listener on towards the plumpness of that unforgettable chorus where the gist is accentuated with the driving riffs and the arena-packed drum fills, making for one hell of a listening experience.
There are moments in this performance where she just puts you right beside her as the music unfolds. I feel the music benefits from such exemplary structure right from the opening verses, down to the pre-chorus and the memorable chorus itself that marks quite a climax for the song when the final notes are about to melt away.
Wrapped in vibrant embers of alternative rock and pop and backed by the unmistakably sultry and expressive vocals of a powerhouse singer at the summit of her creative expression, “Reputation” is an unapologetic anthem for all the confident, feisty, daredevil souls out there with a seemingly outlandish demeanor that allows them to be fearlessly them despite what others might think of them.
The impassioned delivery here is matched only by the intensity of the beats themselves, and the skillful execution leaves nothing to be desired.
The whole of “Reputation” is an unabridged mood by itself that captures the fervent passion Kendall carries in her heart and soul, one which she is not afraid of sharing with the world.
“Reputation” is an indisputable hit with all the hallmarks of a Top 40 banger and one that sets another significant milestone in Kendall’s budding career. It will not be long before heads start banging and lips start moving to this new anthem, all over the globe.
As she gears up for the release of her upcoming debut album dubbed “Damned,” this new single cements her as a hitmaker in the making and one that listeners should be excited about what it is she has to offer.
It is not my intention to keep you waiting on your new favorite anthem. As such, I’ll let you have at it and I hope you enjoy it as much as Kendall enjoyed creating and performing it.
The music video for the single is also out on Kendall’s official YouTube channel, and it is an eye treat worth savoring as you dance along to the irresistible beats with thoughtless abandon!
