Review: Silly Boy by Kennedy Williams

 

Preview “Silly Boy”:

“Silly Boy'' is the final single in the build-up to Kennedy Williams’s debut album Just Another Story. The song was written during a vulnerable point where Kennedy had to choose between her relationship and her career. The backdrop is a stack of Kennedy’s vocals that creates a haunting atmosphere, backed by minimalist drums.
