After delivering on emotional pop ballads like “ Stay ” and “ Pull Me Down ,” Nashville native Mikky Ekko aims for a much more uplifting tone with his latest single. Produced by Benny Blanco and John Hill , “Kids” is a grand affair, with pop sensibilities that instantly bring to mind Colorado band, OneRepublic . The track revolves around the stubbornness of adolescence and how kids will jump into things without any regard for the consequences. Basically, it’s all about having pure, unadulterated fun. It’s the type of song that we could easily see catching on with the general public to help catapult Ekko towards further stardom, which means we’ll finally have a song we like on the radio. Check out the “sweet harmony” of “Kids” above and make sure to pick up the single when it finally releases on August 13th. ...

Mikky Ekko is probably best known to pop lovers for writing (and lending his smooth vocals to) Rihanna ‘s mega-selling ballad “Stay” . The time has come for the Nashville-based songsmith to return to his own music and he delivers a contemplative – yet still oddly catchy – ditty called “Kids” that should appeal to long-time fans and curious newcomers alike. The moody track, which premiered on Gorilla Vs. Bear earlier today (June 18), seamlessly blends electronic elements with Mikky’s folk sensibility. “Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want,” sings the rising star in his trademark mournful style. Listen to the atmospheric song after the jump. Are you a fan? Let us know if Mikky’s new sound pushes your buttons in the comments. ...

After popping up to soundtrack Sunday night’s True Blood season premiere on HBO, Rihanna -collaborator Mikky Ekko ‘s new track finds him in a less questioning mood. ‘Kids’ premiered moments ago over on Gorilla vs Bear and finds the Louisiana-born singer-songwriter embracing a full-bodied melodic indie sound that recalls mid-80s stadium-filling pop as much as the soft-psych of more recent synth-guitar pairings. ...

Over the course of its five seasons, “True Blood” has consistently been one of the best shows on television not only for fans of vampires but for music fans as well. Each episode is named after a song title, and a number of artists have contributed new recordings to the show. Every Monday during season six, Radio.com will speak with “True Blood” Music Supervisor Gary Calamar, who has been nominated for GRAMMYs twice for his work on the show. To see our weekly recaps from season five, go here . Season one’s premiere episode was titled “Who Are You, Really?” That was a question that Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) was asking of her former paramour Bill Compton (played by her real-life husband, Stephen Moyer, who also directed the episode). At the end of last season , Compton appeared to die, only to be immediately resurrected with even greater powers. In the season premiere, when Sookie comes face to face with Bill, she is skeptical that it is actually the vampire she used to love. So “Who Are You, Really?” by Mikky Ekko seems to be a fitting song for all this. But as Gary Calamar tells Radio.com , there was originally different music planned for the season premiere, but a change of the episode’s title necessitated a change of plans. “This was an interesting situation,” he said. “The first script for season six was originally titled ‘Don’t Let me Be Misunderstood,’ and we went ahead and recorded a beautiful, ‘True Blood-y’ new ver ...
