Tanis Offers a Dreamlike Dive into Memory with New Single “Kid”
Tanis explores innocence and adulthood in her poignant new single “Kid” and surreal music video.
Tanis shares her newest single, “Kid,” an introspective, pop-tinged reflection on the emotional shifts that come with age. Raised across the globe—from Europe to the Caribbean to Asia—Tanis channels her multicultural identity into this deeply resonant release.
The single expresses a longing for childhood simplicity, with heartfelt lyrics like: “It used to be cute when I was foolish, but no one forgives my actions now.” With each line, she draws attention to the disconnect between youthful freedom and adult expectations.
In the music video, director Paul Cruz captures this conflict with symbolic grace. Tanis performs against a static backdrop before tearing it down to reveal a vibrant room filled with balloons and oversized teddy bears. These unexpected props, initially a mix-up, became a powerful visual metaphor for re-entering childhood spaces with adult awareness.
A secondary visualizer, crafted by Roisino, supports the song’s tone with rich, textured visuals that enhance the emotional narrative.
“Kid” is a multidimensional project that showcases Tanis’ voice, vision, and emotional honesty—an artist reconnecting with the past while pushing pop forward.
