I love when artists take inspiration from other art forms. Some of my favorite songs stem from the artist either seeing a show, reading a book or watching a movie. What KAKI has done proves that you're allowed to find inspiration from other art forms and they do it so tastefully with their new single "Harry Met Sally." KAKI does a perfect job at putting their own story mixed into the movie plot of When Harry Met Sally. The lyrics play into what we love about the movie, capturing the aesthetics of Central Park while somehow capturing the autumn-aesthetic musically that we love so much about the movie.
This song lyrically is one of my favorites to come out of this year. So much of this song screams not only fall, but the holiday season, because the reflection they make to the movie. The song musically really captures the warmth of the movie while adding personal tidbits of moments from KAKI's life that tie everything together. Some of my favorite lyrics are in the beginning where they say, "Let's take a walk in Central Park" which is one of the most iconic moments in the movie. Another line that I really love, which sums up the entire movie is "If we're both single at 40" which is one of the best parts of the movie. The correlation between the song and the movie show the brains KAKI brings to the table.
KAKI is an indie-pop artist based in Los Angeles and from Columbus, OH who is breaking barriers left and right breaking in to the industry. Being known for their catchy melodies with heart felt lyrics, KAKI brings their organic stories to catchy melodies that you can't get out of your head. Lyricaly, they bring in the ideas of vulneribility in dating, how confusing things can be learning how to date or going through something so human which allows relatablity to audience members. KAKI's newest single shows exactly those strengths making it incredibly exciting to already be here.
