Kisos, Bite Your Tongue [📷: Brent Faulkner/The Musical Hype; Miller Place; OpenClipart-Vectors, PIRO via Pixabay]Pop singer/songwriter Kisos drops a brilliant, must-hear, socially conscious single, “Bite Your Tongue” that drags passive and unfeeling folks.

“In my world everything’s fine / Don’t understand why you are terrified.” Hmm, what a selfish, totally UN-WOKE lyric, 🎙 Kisos, like WTF 🤬? The singer/songwriter continues singing on his single, 🎵 “Bite Your Tongue”, “And those kids at the border line / Ship ‘em back they’ll be alright / Follow the rules that justify.” WHAT! Ugh, ugh, UGH 😡! Honestly, you should be mad listening and reading the lyrics – that is what Kisos intended. Those are clearly NOT his views, but there are people in the world to have strong, incredibly insensitive opinions about those who are marginalized.  Describing his marvelous single, he states it is “a heavy, eerie track dragging everyone who is passive and unfeeling in the face of genocide of marginalized peoples.” WOO! That is a mic 🎤 drop 💧 characterization, PERIOD (or exclamation)! You know what else is a mic drop moment? The single itself – duh! “Now you leave us bleeding ‘cause you bite your tongue.” So true!

Kisos, Bite Your Tongue [📷: Miller Place]The theme is arguably the crowning achievement of “Bite Your Tongue.” Saying nothing, aka being passive, is not acceptable, and honestly, plays in the role continued marginalization.  Deep stuff that not enough artists tackle in all honesty. Of course, beyond the awesome songwriting, the voice, music, and production are all selling points. From the start, “Bite Your Tongue” is locked-in with the rhythmic guitar accompaniment, a driving force throughout the track.  Furthermore, additional music cues and production touches (synths and such) make this socially conscious anthem even better.  Vocally, Kisos has a fabulous instrument on his hands. His performance feels authentic with beautiful, expressive vocals that cry foul to these passive folks.  Also, the harmonized vocals are worth shouting out.  ALSO, what about the tune? There are some great melodic moments, executed by Kisos’ pipes stupendously.  All told, 🎙 Kisos has skwirted out a gem – a call to action bop –  with 🎵 “Bite Your Tongue”.  Open up your narrow minds and fight the good fight to make this world a better more loving place!
