Piper Connolly’s new single, “Kiss Like Me,” delivers a playful yet dynamic blend of pop punk and alt-pop that stands out in today’s music scene. Channelling the rebellious spirit of Billy Idol and the contemporary flair of Olivia Rodrigo, Piper offers a refreshing take on the genre and infuses it with her own distinctive energy.
“Kiss Like Me” is a cheeky counterpoint to a past crush that is captured through its vibrant sound and witty lyrics. Piper’s homage to Billy Idol is loud and clear in the song’s driving beat and gritty guitar riffs that evoke a sense of nostalgic rock rebellion. However, she also skillfully integrates modern pop mechanics that create a fusion that feels both classic and current.
With its infectious energy and flirty attitude, “Kiss Like Me” is instantly appealing. That appeal is partly crafted through Piper’s clear and powerful vocals that further amplifies the track’s charm. Piper’s magnetic presence and dedication to authenticity is also reflected in the song and shows off her ability to blend diverse influences into a cohesive and engaging sound. One that is a fresh twist on pop punk that’s both nostalgic and modern.
