It’s not even mid-March, and it has already been quite the year for Kiran the Nomad.
In January, he released his latest project Nomad, a concise, inward-looking seven-track offering steeped in glistening pianos, soulful synths and chipmunked vocal samples.
In late February, he returned with the single “BANKROLL,” putting his lyrical dexterity on full display over a skeletal, kaleidoscopic instrumental.
Now he’s back with another new track, “HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN,” a slow-burning jazz rap cut built around a spacey vocal loop and a thick, menacing bass line.
Matching the laid-back energy of the instrumental, Kiran sounds right at home, delivering his bars with a patient flow and calm demeanor.
The stripped-back production lets Kiran’s cutting breath:
“On this highway to heaven, heaven is a metaphor for who you truly are / Will you reach your destination, will you see what’s wrong?”
“HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN” stands as another highlight for Kiran in a year already full of them. According to his Instagram bio, he’s currently dropping a new single every two weeks — meaning it won’t be long until we hear from him again.
