When Faith Hill released This Kiss, back in 1998, I didn’t particularly like it. Country pop just wasn’t the music I was into at the time. Looking back however, I must admit it’s a great tune. One of the characteristics of a good composition is the fact it holds firm, also when recorded in a totally different genre.

Enter Alex Lahey…

For Women’s History Month 2021, she turned the track into a fuzzed-out indie rock song. This version still possesses the original’s country twang, but it ups the distortion a few notches. Lahey said she’d had the idea for the arrangement for years. “Two key changes, that iconic chorus, a million vocal harmonies – what more could you want?”, she said.

Recorded as an exclusive ‘Amazon Original’ last year, it’s now finally available on all streaming platforms.
