Our Take

Declan McKenna’s latest album, "What Happened To The Beach?", is a whimsical journey through indie pop with a dash of psychedelic rock. From the opening track “Blue,” McKenna sets the tone with dreamy synths and infectious guitar riffs that will have you tapping your feet in no time.

The album’s title track, “What Happened To The Beach?”, is a poignant reflection on environmental issues, wrapped up in McKenna’s signature witty lyricism. With lines like “The sea is rising, but so are we,” he cleverly tackles important themes while keeping things upbeat and catchy.

Tracks like “Twice Your Size” and “My House” showcase McKenna’s knack for blending catchy melodies with introspective lyrics. The production on these tracks is top-notch, with layers of instrumentation that create a lush sonic landscape for McKenna’s vocals to soar.

One of the standout tracks on the album is “Rapture,” a funky, disco-infused bop that is sure to get you grooving. McKenna’s falsetto vocals shine on this track, adding a touch of whimsy to the already infectious beat.

Overall, "What Happened To The Beach?" is a fantastic addition to Declan McKenna’s discography. With its catchy hooks, thoughtful lyrics, and impeccable production, this album is sure to please both longtime fans and newcomers alike. McKenna proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the indie pop scene.

About the artist

Declan McKenna

At just 22 years old, Declan McKenna has already made a name for himself as one of the most exciting and boundary-pushing artists in the indie music scene. Hailing from Hertfordshire, England, McKenna burst onto the scene in 2015 with his debut single, "Brazil," a politically charged anthem that earned him widespread acclaim and comparisons to the likes of David Bowie and Bob Dylan. His music is a unique blend of indie rock, pop, and electronica, with catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics that tackle everything from climate change to LGBTQ+ rights. McKenna's youthful energy and infectious charm have captivated audiences around the world, earning him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim from music critics. McKenna's sophomore album, "Zeros," released in 2020, showcases his growth as an artist and songwriter, with a more mature sound that still retains the quirky, offbeat charm that sets him apart from his peers. Tracks like "Beautiful Faces" and "The Key to Life on Earth" are catchy, anthemic tunes that are sure to get stuck in your head. With his eclectic mix of influences, sharp wit, and undeniable talent, Declan McKenna is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Whether he's playing to a sold-out crowd at Glastonbury or headlining his own world tour, McKenna's star is on the rise, and we can't wait to see what he does next.
