Artemas, i like the way you kiss me [📷: Brent Faulkner/The Musical Hype; Artemas; Clker-Free-Vector-Images, Królestwo Nauki, OpenClipart-Vectors, Pete Linforth, Tumisu from Pixabay]English singer, songwriter, and producer Artemas drops a brief but surefire alt-pop gem with “i like the way you kiss me.”

“Ilike the way you kiss me, I can tell you miss me / I can tell it hits, hits, hits, hits.” Word, Artemas.  The English alt-pop singer, songwriter, and producer drops a surefire bop with his infectious single, i like the way you kiss me”. Matters of the heart, as well as sex, are always excellent candidates for songs in any genre of music.  Artemas pens this ‘NSA’ record alongside Jesse Fink and his fellow producers Kevin White and Daintree.  It runs under two-and-a-half minutes, but that’s a sufficient amount of time for Artemas to express himself.

Artemas, i like the way you kiss me [📷: Artemas]“I like the way you kiss me” is ‘anti-romance’ – rather, perceived anti-romance – at its best.  In the chorus, Artemas continues, “Not tryna be romantic, I’ll hit it from the back / Just so you don’t get attached.” Still, by the time the first verse arrives, he asserts, “You take the heat and with such grace / You say we’re done, but here you stay.” Hmm, sounds like more than sex… “Said you’re scared I’ll let you down… / Stick around and you’ll find out.” Still, in the second verse, one wonders what kind of scene he’s getting at, particularly since he asks, “Can we make it loud?” Regardless, Artemas is proud of his baby, attached or nah.  Also, worth being proud of is the energy he brings on “i like the way you kiss me”, as well as the colorful, driving sound.  Need a playlist enhancer? Look no further than this kiss-worthy joint right here!
