An effervescent collection of riff-loaded, catchy power pop tunes.
Nothing more, nothing less, but oh so excitingly entertaining. It
features one of the best 2023 singles (in my book) with BAGGIO,
an ode to the former Italian football star Robert Baggio.
After a series of triumphant gigs in the past months, Kane announced new dates in UK/ Europe for 2024.

6. ‘Sharp’s Catching Waves’ by PSEUDO COOL (South Wales)
NME says: “Where he’s inventive and precise in directing his energy, he’s able
to make real uplifting and imaginative indie bops. It’s a shame this album’s not
full of them. The potential is there, but he’s not quite hit it.”
TUTV: As he said himself multiple times Kane loves the swinging 60s/70s pop, rock
and soul splendor. So again, you hear here those flamboyant influences from the past.
He hasn’t the same songwriting quality of his mate Alex Turner but he always comes up with upbeat tunes that stick and put a big smile on your face. The best example is the
splendid single ‘Baggio‘. A song about the former Italian football star
Following the lead single Troubled Son Kane dropped a second taster. BAGGIO refers to the former Italian football starRoberto Baggio.
Kane:“I was eight years old when I first saw Baggio on TV, it was during the
1994 World Cup. I was taken back by his presence, his look and his talent. It was
the first time I’d seen a man look so different and unique. Seeing Baggio led me to
e obsessed with that Italian football team for many years later. They made me want
to grow my hair and I think that was the start of getting me obsessed with clothes,
fashion and all things Italian. It was the start of me wanting to grow into who I am
today.
Baggio is one of those typical Kane tunes. Immediately recognisable with its
uplifting 60s/70s beat and infectious melody. But it’s a glorious guitar fragment
and accompanying harmonious, backing vocals that lift the song to a five-star
pop level. Goal!
