CMON CMON - All The Other Kids

On Rotation: CMON CMON "All The Other Kids"

Belgian power-pop band CMON CMON has released their latest single, “All The Other Kids,”, giving a taste of what’s to come with their upcoming Headwind EP. The track explores the tension between youthful idealism and the hard truths of adulthood, bridging the gap between the dreams of a 16-year-old and the realities faced by a 46-year-old.

The song kicks off with vibrant, jangly guitar riffs that quickly ramp up into a dynamic and full sound. The drums punch through the mix with precision, setting an upbeat tone as Jorrit Hermans’ voice comes in strong, filled with warmth and youthful exuberance. His vocal delivery pulls you in, immediately making the listener feel part of the journey he’s narrating. Alongside him, bassist Steven Omblets and drummer Michel Becx create a harmonious rhythm section that adds an extra layer of soul to the track, giving it a natural depth.

One of the most striking elements of “All The Other Kids” is the addition of Hammond organ and piano by producer James Brown. These rich, classic sounds lend the song a nostalgic touch, giving it an almost timeless feel. The musical backdrop supports the song’s themes of longing, growth, and finding joy in life’s everyday moments. The lyrics, especially the line “Maybe we just have ordinary dreams about the future,” bring a sense of reflection. This simple yet powerful idea captures the essence of the song, that there is meaning and beauty to be found in the seemingly mundane aspects of life.

As the band continues to evolve, “All The Other Kids” builds on the success of their debut album, which was produced by Grammy-nominated Alex Newport. With Headwind, recorded at Trypoul Studio and mixed at JBJ Studios, CMON CMON takes another step forward in creating power-pop anthems that blend infectious energy with emotional honesty. Fans can listen to “All The Other Kids” on Spotify and prepare for more from this exciting band.
