Steven Milne of The Little Kicks writes songs from the heart


Listen Later

Today, the Spotlight shines On Steven Milne, singer, songwriter, keyboardist and vocalist in the Aberdeen, Scotland-based band The Little Kicks.

The Little Kicks make sophisticated pop music, with three of the members providing vocal harmonies, over songs with enticing guitar hooks, and featuring the seductive sound of analogue synthesizers.

The band is still supporting their most recent record, People Need Love, which was released back in September 2022. Look for it or link to it through the show notes.

Steven gave us a wealth of insight into the mind - and heart - of a modern songwriter and performer. Enjoy the conversation.
