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.
