Kindness

"This Is Not About Us"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Sep 3, 2014

As Kindness (a.k.a. Adam Bainbridge) gets ready for the release of his sophomore set, Otherness, the UK R&B figure is delivering yet another preview from the upcoming set. Despite the personal, relationship-geared lyrics of the track, his "This Is Not About Us" apparently isn't an autobiographical account.

Spacious, heartbroken piano chords and a '90s new jack swing break that sounds like it was lifted from P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" back Bainbridge's plaintive vocals. Throughout the number, he details a distance developing between a pair of lovers, noting how "something seems between us."

You'll hear him analyzing the shift in personal dynamics down below. The rest of Otherness drops October 14 through Female Energy.
