London-based rockers Dirty Mitts unveil a bluesy charisma on new single “Electric Kid.” The vocals conjure a climactic, motivational appeal — “then I moved to Paris, to become someone,” — following the self-depicted beginnings. The confident invigoration melds aptly within the bluesy rock sound. The lyrics are written by fashion designer Mounir Ghazi, who commissioned the track. His words capture a personal journey, from youthful beginnings to fearless success in adulthood, brought on by determination and perseverance.
“I can’t be tamed,” a growling vocal ferocity lets out at one point, with a title-referencing quip ascending into rousing vocal theatrics. A guitar emphasis takes hold in the final minute, exuding a sweltering energy into a final, fierce vocal send-off with Robert Plant reminiscences. “Electric Kid” is a rousing rock success from Dirty Mitts, formed in 2022 and comprising Tommy (vocals), Matt (bass), Mo (guitar), and Mateusz (drums).
