Kbackwood$’s fresh single Cigarettes is a potent combination of pop-punk punchy and raw emotive. The song is the first sample from his upcoming album Heaven Sent 2 and explores (in an accessible yet deep way) the filthy reality of toxic attachment through a cigarette metaphor.
The song is a metaphor for a relationship that doesn’t work and has become “walking on eggs”. Kbackwood$ explores the subject of guilt, love, regret and self-awareness, the inner struggle for holding on and knowing the time to let go. He’s not about to glorify the pain, but rather he pinpoints the true emotional burden of remaining stuck in something that drains you.
As for music, “Cigarettes” packs a wallop from the energetic drum beats and powerful electric guitars and bass lines that add to the track’s restless and energized feel, perfectly befitting its theme. Influenced by Kellin Quinn, Sleeping With Sirens and Travis Barker, Kbackwood$ is an up-to-date, alternative edge version of classic pop-punk.
“Cigarettes” is an exciting new chapter in Kbackwood$’s music with its energetic, personal and straight to the point style. A track designed to appeal to fans of alternative, emo and modern pop-punk music.
