POP DUST PRESENTS
All About Alex Kinsey And iLana Armida: Inside Bread & Butter
By Jai Phillips
Bread & Butter, the new single by Alex Kinsey and iLana Armida, is all about good vibes. The beat is lighthearted and whimsical, the lyrics sexy and nostalgic. It gives the feel that two people had a ton of fun making this track…and they did.
When I sat down for an interview with Alex and iLana, I knew off the bat these two could make stellar music together and they loved doing it.
After watching what they referred to as “The Music Video Before The Music Video” - filmed in their studio by themselves and edited by iLana herself - I wanted to be right next to them grooving to the song.
The two share great chemistry as well as a funky studio they dance around in the music video. The artwork in the studio was created by Alex and iLana’s friends and family, paying tribute to their loved ones while still shooting a fun-filled video.
In the era of disco music and pop funk revival, Bread & Butter is exactly what the world needs right now. Alex and iLana said it best:
“People just wanna dance.”
The one word that comes to mind when I hear this song is groovy. It’s low-stress in a high-stress time, reminding us that music can make the world feel a bit easier.
This isn’t the first time Alex and iLana have worked together. In fact, the couple has been writing together for almost five years now. They’re looking forward to a tour in Europe soon, and potentially releasing some more music together.
