His EP's called 'Breaking Good' but don't let that put you off

kieran alleyne

The funny thing about Kieran Alleyne's 'Comfortable' is that about three seconds into the song you're thinking "Jesus Christ not another one that sounds like this", then at about the 0:56 mark you're thinking "Jesus Christ why can't there be more songs like this".

Don't be fooled by a zeit­geisty pro­duc­tion style because some of the song­writ­ing on this song is top notch; the "you should lay back on me I'm gonna make you come… fortable" line is certainly a killer com­bin­a­tion of triumph and travesty.

'Comfortable' may not be the most original-sounding song you hear all year, but it pulls all its influ­ences together in a really exciting way and it seems like the sort of thing Justin Bieber should/would be coming out with were he not busy standing around in his pants and/or jumping up and down near Carly Rae Jepsen.

iTunes says Kieran's 'Breaking Good' EP's out on April 6 but you can buy it now for some reason. We are living in the future ladies and gentlemen — make the most of it.
