L Marshall releases his free, highly anticipated project Kiss The Fire. Kiss The Fire’which is described as neither an EP nor a mixtape, shows L Marshall’s true self as an artist as he gives this project away to his fans as a gift.
It demonstrates his ability to write captivating songs most specifically I.L.Y, Live All The Way and Fire. You can understand why this is more a project as it allows L Marshall to experiment with different sounds. The track Kiss The Fire has a strong dup step sound and Gas Man has an edgy rock vibe to it while the rest of the project as a collective is almost split in two, with the first half having more rap leading to more singing and softer beats towards the end of the project. Focus brings a soulful and orchestral feel to the project making it one of the standout tracks on the project as L balances rapping and singing on the track exquisitely. Kiss The Fire shows off L Marshall’s skills as the versatile artist he is with this exciting project.
