Kevin Landt’s reimagining of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” is a fresh, playful twist on the iconic hit, presenting a new perspective that’s bold and reflective. Opening with a punchy rhythm section and thumping drums, the song immediately grabs attention with its energetic beat. Landt’s husky voice brings a narrative style that draws listeners in, and by the time the catchy chorus kicks in, the story is clear: this is a tale of surprise self-discovery.
In his version, Landt flips the song’s premise, sharing his experience of kissing a girl despite having a boyfriend. Through the encounter, he realizes he likes it but without romantic attachment, exploring themes of fluid sexuality with a lighthearted, engaging approach. His vocal delivery is dynamic, filled with energy that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish.
Recorded at the Miami Recording Studios, Landt’s rendition retains the catchy allure of the original while adding a modern and more queer-dipped edge, flipping the script on reintroducing heterosexuality. Based out of Austin, Texas, Landt continues to expand his creative path, and this release marks a significant moment in his career as he brings new energy to a well-loved classic.
Landt’s “I Kissed A Girl” is a fun and meaningful take on the pop anthem, celebrating the nuances of sexuality with humor and authenticity, which eventually empowers us to express ourselves more freely. Check it out on Spotify.
