Nathan Sykes, former member of the United Kingdom boy band The Wanted, started his solo career with the new single Kiss Me Quick released in July. With more soulful and R&B inspired music than his former band’s pop music, 22 year old Sykes wanted to “keep the album as a pop album while bringing in elements like soul and jazz and R&B as well,” he said in a Rolling Stone interview. Unique in its message, Kiss Me Quick is about how Sykes is bad at flirting, one of the lines being “Right here, make this unforgettable, baby come kiss me quick.” This single is upbeat and energetic, making it a fun song to dance or sing along to. The song is perfect to help de-stress during a homework study break. So put the music video on and dance along with Sykes to his new single Kiss Me Quick.
