Irish alternative rapper and singer KhakiKid returns with “Soul,” the latest offering from his forthcoming five-track EP Girl Bites Dog, landing April 17th. Produced by Louis Stanley Isaacs and featuring vocals from Bricknasty, the track blends soulful instrumentation with alt-rap textures, expanding KhakiKid’s evolving sound.
“Soul” captures the internal dialogue that follows conflict, the thoughts that surface long after an argument ends. As KhakiKid puts it, it’s “the conversation you have with yourself a week after the argument, in retrospect.” Melancholic piano lines and steady kick drums give the record an uplifting pulse, contrasting with his laid-back, spoken-word style delivery.
The single reveals a more vulnerable dimension to his artistry while maintaining the wit and self-awareness that define his catalogue. Balancing sincerity with subtle satire, KhakiKid continues to explore youth, relationships and emotional contradictions with clarity.
Following the release of “Favela,” “Soul” further builds anticipation for Girl Bites Dog, reinforcing KhakiKid’s position as one of Ireland’s most distinctive emerging voices.
