Songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Khemet McConville shares his wisdom-laden anthem “Your Mother Said,” led by soul-capturing grooves and thoughtful sentiments. The track, a nursery rhyme-esque sing-along with gospel-infused production, is built on ethereal instrumentals, punchy yet smooth basslines, and Motown-inspired drums. It evokes joy and companionship while tilting into reflective, sobering tones.
With raw vocals layered upon lush saxophone melodies, this jazz-tinged anthem is catchy and thoughtful all at once. Speaking about the track, McConville says, “I wanted to create a children’s song that would appeal to adults sonically and be simple enough for kids to sing along to lyrically. Keeping a simple repetitive hook, I deliver a detailed timeline of the character’s life and a number of life lessons to go along with it.”
Described as soulful, unique, idiosyncratic, and eclectic, McConville, whose ear for music began as early as kindergarten, is a versatile and promising talent to keep on your radar.
