Also here because of Blink. Not a big fan of the music, but i think its better than a lot of the crap they play on the radio. On the other hand, who listens to the radio anymore to hear good music??
@Dod3f Blink is a book by Malcolm Gladwell about how our mind processes a large amount of information on an intuitive level. Kenna was used as an example on how the intuitive can be deceiving if used to do market research regarding things that are different as a large number of people are initially off-put by something that does not get easily categorized. Kenna does not really fit a niche genre so focus groups rated him low and the record companies dumped on him even the experts loved him
Why can't I find the original Hell Bent video???!!! It's really starting to drive me crazy. I realize it's a 10 year old short film "Eligeia" or whatever but damn!!!
I am french, and i find that nowadays it is very rare to listen to music which don't speak about sex or drugs, or parties, but about something more interesting. I love Kenna, cause the words are simple & comprehensive. There is no conceit in him.
Love the rock, man! I am from Ethiopia and remember well my first years, when I was cursed, rediculed and to some extent beaten for listening rock music. I really feel finally liberated, by listening this music from you. Keep it up and expect more!!
Chad and Kenna gotta be the best team in the industry. There's no better producer/songwriter that go together so well. Not even Chad and Pharrell can match Chad and Kenna :P
Ive listen to this song a long time ago and i liked it more every time its good to see the video is still up and getting good Views Keep it up Splintermvp13
Nina Simone iz STILL a GODDESS !!!....What makes you think she WAS a Goddess !??? Who cares for the aging star? You don't have any compassion for the stars you already give up because they age on your marketing machines !!!
I saw this guy on atlanta ywice before the hellbent video came out back in like 2003/4 opening up for dave gahan and the second time I think was fischerspooner but I might be wrong. any live is the way to go, he puts on an amazing show
These are the kind of videos that keep me very inspire when i'm making music. Check out my new song "Let it all go by Flomaticc" you can also download my music @ Flomaticc . com. I love reviews and feedback.
I remember the first album Hell I bought it twice just so I could have a pristine copy cause I listened to the album so many times I was afraid I'd break it.
love love love love it! I can listen to it more than once. I remember first seeing him live, didn't even know who he was... but I loved his music! N he seems lyk such a nice guy :). Go kenna :p. x
I red about him in Blink . I completely agree with book's analyses, he is odd but within the frame. Similaer to early David Bowie in late 60ies before the Ziggy Stardust craze when he was Oncle Tom...this is very impressive
still, I can see how this would sound like the future of music in the 90's when he started out. It sounds like Interpol, if it were a black guy's solo project.
I don't like how formulaic it sounds, the way it cuts straight from verse to chorus to verse with no real smooth transition. The percussion doesn't really do anything for me either.
his beats are created by chad lewis... he's also great friends with farrel, the three of them went to high school and they've been good friends since then...
no no no his name is Chad Hugo and Farrel is spelled Pharrell. Pharrell and Chad went to different highschools Chad and Kenna went to the same highschool.
This song is amazing, I just want to say that first; but if any of you ever get the chance to listen to this on ecstacy- GO FOR IT. It is a life altering experience.
My name is Kenna and Im a girl:) I feel cool:)
