Kevin Honold – “Honey”

Kevin Honold’s latest single “Honey” is a groove-driven indie pop-rock track that comes from a very real place, and it deserves your full attention from the first second to the last one. He wrote it while living in Seattle during the winter, and that backstory matters because the song sounds like it grew out of a desire for warmth and motion after months of gray days.

The rhythm plays a big role here, giving the track a steady push that makes it easy to stick in your head all day long and it has a full-band energy that feels natural, like everyone involved knew when to step forward and when to pull back. The melodies are strong, which helps the song stay grounded and easy to return to.

Knowing that “Honey” was written for Honold’s wife, with the release lined up with her birthday, gives the track a deeper sense of intention. That personal angle doesn’t take over the song, but it does make everything feel more sincere and lived-in.

“Honey” sits comfortably within Honold’s indie pop-rock world and points toward where his sound is heading next. Follow Kevin Honold on social media to keep up with new releases arriving in the new year.
