KinetiX have released their new single ‘White Oil…’. The track is the third single released by the Offaly trio (consisting of brothers Arthur, Theodore, and Ademar Stones), ‘White Oil…’ is a drum and bass rallying call by KinetiX for listeners to retake the initiative within their lives.Before KinetiX formed in 2017, the trio started out as traditional musicians to great success, winning 23 All-Ireland at various Fleadh Cheoil na nÉireann competitions, as well as appearing on The Late Late Toy Show in 2010. Prior to KinetiX Arthur would go on to form Ruaile Buaile, which would release two studio albums, extensively tour North America, Europe, the UAE, and New Zealand. As KinetiX, the trio work out of their studio in Offaly, having previously worked in Diffusion Lab Studios alongside producers Chris Bubenzer and Marcin Ciszczon. The trio plan to release up to a dozen singles before the end of 2021, while continuing to perform gigs via live stream, with the aim of returning to physical gigs at the first opportunity ahead of the 2022 festival season.
‘White Oil…’ is a luscious pop anthem doused in the intricate production and sparkling electronic pop of KinetiX. The trio spread a dreamy melody over a driving drum and bass backdrop to create an energetic and irresistible bop for listeners to enjoy. The track oozes feel-good vibes as KinetiX swirl ethereal electronics through the bubbling backdrop to create light and airy elements throughout. With muggy verses that dissolve into the explosive and radiant chorus, ‘White Oil..’ is a well crafted and bright gem, ready for repeat summer plays.
A by-product of the ongoing pandemic, ‘White Oil…’ lyrically tries to look beyond this unprecedented period and encourages listeners not only to maintain connections with people but to use the easing of lockdown restrictions as a launchpad to start living in a way that makes life worthwhile: “We are trying to convey a simple message in this song…it’s time to open up your arms again and let people in. If you have had any negative thoughts or were being hard on yourself for the last few months, it is time to let that all go and start living your life again…get out there and start living your life for you.”
