Sometimes you listen to an artist who fascinates you, and you wonder exactly what it is that makes them special and stand out. Well, occasionally the answer is as simple as it gets and really closer than you think—being themselves and no one else. For one multifaceted Albanian artist, Kristian Lleshi, his artistic integrity is defined by his genuine personality. He has carved his own path within the realms of authenticity, taking cues from his biggest inspirations while still managing to come through with an identifiable brand. His style cannot be pigeonholed; he tends to lean towards a pop-inspired sound that cuts across hip-hop and rap, and still crosses over to punk and rock. With him, you get an all-in-one musical package. And yes, you’re welcome!
“Wrong” has a haunting beat that is both vigorous and modest, a stunning reflection of the first-rate production by KidJimi. Leaning towards a contemporary vibe, the track exudes a modernity that is ideal for dancing, as its irresistible beat infuses all your senses.
Kristian levitates with his distinctly flavored and sweet-sounding vocals that come off velvety and slinky, walking over the beat in style as he excels in a sing-rap technique that allows both specialties to come out effortlessly clean. His rhythmic delivery marries well with the beat, creating a vocal and sonic unity that aids the jam’s infectious and anthemic nature, alluring a listener even after it is over.
The lyrics are graphic, capturing the intricacies of a boy-girl relationship—a relationship battling ego and insecurity to survive. Very relatable and backed by the most captivating beat you will listen to, “Wrong” has all the hallmarks of an enchanting pop-rap anthem. This is a must-have for fans of catchy music that continues to play in the head long after the final notes fade away.
