Jon Bellion - Kid Again (Single)

With newly attained creative control and resurrected artistic energy, singer, song-writer and producer Jon Bellion brings us his latest single, “Kid Again”. Jon Bellion’s first single as an artist with full creative control of his own music. “Kid Again” marks both a restart and a beginning to a new chapter for the talented musician, but above that it tells an earnest story of a musician tied to an unfavorable contract and draws a parallel to feeling like a kid again upon breaking away from that.

There are a lot of references and elements tied to the “kid” concept throughout the song. And considering the artist Jon Bellion has amassed to be this comes as no surprise. What is further compelling about this song is how Jon produces it play out as an inner conversation with himself before finding his creative spirit again by the conclusion of the track. The first half of the song hears Bellion relying on his higher power in seeking guidance to find that freeing, curious and child-like mindset to pursue his music. In what was shown in the 14-minute making of video of “Kid Again” prior to its release, Bellion used AI to create his voice in the form of a child in which you can hear in the diverting chorus. Jon’s breakaway and freedom from his tedious and winding struggle with his record deal is the driving inspiration on the second half where Jon boasts his spiritual belief and celebrates creative liberation. One of the enticing attributes when listening to Jon’s music is the variety of swift tidbits, he can hit you with scattered within a song. On “Kid Again”, he lays out a model example of such tendency with the inclusion of his “Wake Up” adlibs found on the bridge to gage his prolonged awakening.

Rooting for the good guy is typical in human nature, so to hear Jon come out on the winning end of this situation with a song of this significance is gratifying. “Kid Again” exults a feeling of no restraints with its symmetry in adolescence and breathes newfound ambition to an artist who has always wanted to just create music that makes him happy. Jon Bellion follows instinct and avoids overthinking his direction on this single. Parallel to a kid in a playground, Bellion evokes an “I can show you better than I can tell you”, demeanor in the studio. “Kid Again” is available for streaming on all music streaming platforms and should be the first step on the path to a new album.
