K.Flay (feat. Travis Barker) – Dating My Dad
Travis Barker is one of the most featured artists in recent history. Only the last few years, he featured on singles by the likes of Pitbull, Machine Gun Kelly, Maggie Lindemann, The Hunna, Demi Lovato, Amy Shark, and Willow. That’s only a very selective list, to which we can now add alt-indie singer K.Flay. She a very popular featured artist herself as well, by the way.
Dating My Dad by K.Flay (feat. Travis Barker) is a great tune. Just like most tracks the blink-182 drummer is involved in, and just like most of Kristine Flaherty’s songs. In other words: this cooperation couldn’t have gone wrong. It’s an energetic rock song, where K.Flay’s funny observations are accompanied by spacey sounds, memorable hooks and of course Barker’s tight beats.
The singer says of the song: “This is basically 6 months of therapy condensed into a single song. You spend so much of your life thinking that you’re the exception, but at the end of the day, you’re just like everyone else – becoming a version of your parents or falling in love with one. Or both. (…) There are patterns in our lives and in our families that we can either choose to perpetuate or choose to stop. That’s what growing up feels like, at least to me.”
You can find Dating My Dad and four more tracks on K.Flay’s new EP Inside Voices.
