‘Vitamin C’ is the debut single for Clean Cut Kid, a Liverpool-based four piece consisting of Saul Godman, Ross Higginson, Mike and Evelyn Halls. However, they aren’t new to the spotlight! They’ve played at this year’s Latitude festival and will be touring with Shura and Circa Waves this Autumn.
‘Vitamin C’ opens with a simple guitar tune before the vocals come in; ‘I’m gonna be your vitamin C / Build you back up the way you used to be.’ Aside from an infectious melody, the meaning of these song lyrics are just as sweet as the fruit you find said vitamin in. The song builds up to create a surreal tune with the distortion, synth and drums in the chorus.
Creating their own space between the indie rock and pop genres, Clean Cut Kid have a striking style of their own and ‘Vitamin C’ is an example of their talent. Be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
