Nick Vivid "First Kiss"
Sounds from the USA
31/10/2025 | Nick Vivid’s “First Kiss” (3’05”) is a sweet, cool burst of synthpop charm laced with a groovy, funky soul—like a sun-dappled memory set to a lo-fi electronic beat. Serving as a standout cut from his forthcoming album Volatile (out October 24, 2025), the track captures the giddy vulnerability of early romance through shimmering synths, tight basslines, and Vivid’s effortlessly smooth vocals. It’s nostalgic yet fresh, balancing retro warmth with a distinctly New York edge—part glam-pop daydream, part DIY funk experiment. With its infectious groove and tender lyricism, “First Kiss” feels like a love letter to those fleeting, formative moments that linger long after the feeling fades.
As a sonic architect as much as a songwriter, Vivid built much of Volatile using gear he crafted himself—from custom guitar pedals to synth filters inspired by Giorgio Moroder’s legendary Helios console—then mixed the entire album to tape for added analog grit. Raised on a rich diet of soul, Bowie, and Queen, Vivid channels those influences into a sound that’s both deeply personal and wildly inventive. “First Kiss” reflects his ability to distill raw, uncertain emotions into polished, melodic gems—a skill honed through years of underground gigs and solo reinvention. With Volatile, Nick Vivid doesn’t just revisit his past; he reimagines it through a kaleidoscope of disco glimmer, indie pop sweetness, and electronic soul, cementing his place as one of New York’s most fearless and original voices.
