Kon Kan - Vida

Review by Pi-eL

Vida, the third album by Canadian synth-pop duo Kon Kan, is a vibrant and energetic collection of danceable tracks that showcase the group's versatility and musical prowess. The album features a mix of original compositions and cover versions of classic hits, all infused with the duo's signature blend of catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and electronic instrumentation.

From the opening track "I Beg Your Pardon" to the closing number "Am I In Love," Vida is an infectious and fun-filled ride that will keep listeners grooving from start to finish. The album's standout tracks include the funky "Liberty," the soulful "Move to Move," and the bouncy "Puss N' Boots/These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

About Kon Kan

Canadian synthpop group. The band name is a play on the Can(adian) Con(tent) regulations on Canadian radio. Kon Kan was originally conceived as a one-off project for Barry Harris, but the success of I Beg Your Pardon and major-label interest convinced him to complete an album for Atlantic. Vocalist Kevin Wynne was originally a hired session singer for the debut single I Beg Your Pardon, but was asked to return for the making of the Move to Move album and subsequent touring (appearing in sleeve photos for the singles after I Beg Your Pardon). Kevin did not return for the albums Syntonic and Vida!& I Beg Your Pardon received a 1990 Juno Award for Best Dance Recording. Puss N Boots / These Boots Are Made For Walkin was nominated for a 1991 Juno Award in the same category. In 2013, Barry Harris and Kevin Wynne announced that they were reuniting.
