Feel The Electric Rush Of First Love

Kristen Rae Bowden’s “Skateboard” is a sun-drenched fever dream of a track, capturing the wild rush of first love with a gritty indie-pop edge.

It’s like speeding down an empty street at twilight, where every turn feels electric and a little dangerous. Joe Lawlor’s guitar riffs kick things off with a jangly, nostalgic vibe that’s equal parts warmth and attitude, setting the tone for a ride that’s as exhilarating and unpredictable.

Bowden’s vocals are the real standout here—there’s a rawness in her delivery that cuts through the sweetness.

She’s not just singing about young love; she’s pulling you into the whirlwind, making you feel every high and low with a clarity that’s almost too real. Her lyrics are snapshots of those fleeting, intense moments, the kind that burn into your memory and leave you wanting more.

The production by John Alagia and Pedro Laet keeps everything tight, balancing the track’s polished indie-pop sheen with just enough grit to keep it grounded.
"Skateboard" has a shimmering melody, and leaves you a little breathless, like you have just lived through something unforgettable and you are not quite ready to let it go.

This is the kind of summer track that you will keep coming back to when you are in the mood to feel alive.
