Wes Kirkpatrick – That Kind of Love
That Kind of Love begins with a professional production that right away stands out, loud but balanced mastering, with a crystal-clear audio mix that emphasizes every audio detail. The acoustic guitar provides the basis, expressing an indie-folk vibe that often changes into a bigger, electric composition. Underneath it all, a groovy bassline drives the music, combining with the warm drumming to produce a catchy rhythmic flow. Wes Kirkpatrick’s voice is a distinctive, smooth, nostalgic, and radio-ready, with an warmth that brings the listener inside. At 2:27, the energy takes a slight step back. The composition is stripped down to simply acoustic guitar and vocals, resulting in a private performance that feels almost like an individual confession. This pause increases the excitement of Kirkpatrick’s saying the words “that kind of love” with increased passion. The return to the full arrangement provides both mental and audio completion, creating an aura that is equal parts melancholic and romantic. It’s the type of song that feels classic, based on folk ideas but updated for modern ears. The changes between acoustic simplicity and layered music keep it dynamic, and the lyrics and vocals promise that it “sticks” beyond the last sound.
