Nice collab! Dig the blending of styles. Got a chill-wave thing going with a power rock overlay and smooth vocals. Too cool!

Another fun one to do  :)

Here's the lyric

Angels & Demons

a TV flickers in a hotel room
the static of a restless world
we want to check out but our card's declined
disappointed children of the mother of pearl

cause there's a little light
and there's a little dark
angels and demons in every heart

can't see the forest for the trees
piranha girls in limousines
but you won't get a signal here
off the grid in the dull-o-sphere
as the kraken sleeps

cause there's a little light
and there's a little dark
angels and demons in every heart

what you gonna do
when they beam down to abduct you?
what you gonna say
when they zap you with their death ray?
what you gonna break
when you've had all that you can take?
what you gonna find
when you realise that you've lost
your mind

cause there's a little light
and there's a little dark
angels and demons in every heart

Beautiful work guys, love the contrast from verse to chorus, lots of light and shade in Kenneth's music and love Tim's lyrics and vocals. Brilliant guys.

first off the chorus is amazing...both music and vocals...stunning really
I love the laid back feel....kind of 10cc like (one of my all time favorite pop hits (I'm Not In Love)...
the soundscape is almost like breathing...not frantic, nicely controlled
the drums I love
the guitar work is fantastic
lots of incredible small detail....
this is like when you see a piece of hand made cabinetry and the more you look at it and see the personal signature markings in the wood you realize you are looking at brilliance.... in this case hearing brilliance...

Kenny and Tim, you've hit a home run with this collab! For some reason, which I can't explain, I'm getting a Peter Gabriel vibe here. Not a copy but a feel. A great backing track Kenny and superb vocals and lyric Tim!

Beautiful synths, very ethereal sound. Love the electric piano part on this track. It's the subtle things in this song that make it pop. Great lead and backing vocals Tim, that chorus is indeed a cracker

A stadium rocker this one.
Its got the Kenneth signature, when the song slows then builds instantly into a mega chorus.
Greenys vocal is as always captivating and crystal clear.
Two great songcrafters and one great track.
Brilliant boys.

Loving the synths on this, they work great with the strummed rhythm guitar and there's some lovely melodic hooks in the synth leads. Very nice groove with the drums and it's a lovely, well-balanced mix. This of course provides a great foundation for Tim's vocals, which are superb as always. Piranha girls in limousines, what a line, what a great name for a band and I'd like to meet me some of those piranha girls.......

It's a wonderful collab, a really great listen that sucks you in with a warm sounds but then sticks you with some of those barbs in the lyrics. Great work guys.

Oh Yeah. What a great track with excellent production/mixing. Love all those light and shade sections and how they contrast with the different styles. Vocals are just bloody super. So much going on in this song that you have to listen to it several times to catch everything yet there is not one moment of clutter. Hence great production and mixing. Well done, guys.

Very well written this one. It does seem like this one would work in a big arena. Those guitars have real grit to them and I love when they kick in full on in places. Beautiful otherworldly lyrics. Your two styles are in perfect sync here, love it.
