Lil Peep: “Kiss” (2016)
Lil Peep’s “Kiss” sounds like two or three songs staggering home together. The sampled guitars might be from a Modern Baseball song, or maybe another Lil Peep song entirely, and the first voices on the track are a half-buried sample of the California pop-punk band Better Luck Next Time; the echoes run together the same way that incoming headlights smear into one beam when you squint. Produced by Smokeasac, Peep’s closest and most intimate creative partner, the song begins pickled in that signature Peep weariness, but then a second song seems to yawn and wake up inside the first one. This is a cautiously exultant one, a rare Peep anthem of bashful hope instead of despair: “One more chance, baby give me a kiss/Ya got one more chance for a night like this,” he sings. It has the lifespan of a soap bubble, this fleeting burst of euphoria. You feel the urge to protect it. –Jayson Greene
