Though his two albums to date, New Sacred Cow and Make Sure They See My Face, were warmly received by the electro-pop and urban alternative communities, Ethiopian-American musician Kenna is hoping to get the widespread success he’s been waiting for in 2009 with the release of his upcoming Land 2 Air Chronicles EP, followed by his junior album, Songs For Flight.  To kick off the Virginia Beach resident’s big year, a remix of one of Make Sure They See My Face‘s standout tracks, Loose Wires, has just been released.  This new version features another eclectic duo in a situation loyal Booth-heads have been waiting to hear for quite some time – that’s right, you finally get to hear The Cool Kids over a Neptunes beat. Though it’s still too early to tell whether or not their verses enhance or distract from the song’s mood, both Kenna and the Cool Kids feel right at home over Pharrell Williams’ chaotic production, and the presence of both should be enough to make Loose Wires a nationwide hit.

I love this song. The beat is electric and the cool kids bring just the right flavor to the song. makes me wish I had money. so I could buy the cd. I listened to it on a subscription trial i had and loved it..

idk if this is a classic. but it's in constant rotation for me. which makes it the ish in my mind.

This joint is hot. This reminds me of something the J.T woulda smashed. This goes in rotation for me too...and then some. The production is fresh. It has the futuristic feel and is mad catchy. Cool Kids did the thing too.

Dope beat by the Neptunes and I love the combo of Kenna and Cool Kids. This track is bumping I love the pop feel. The chorus is really fresh too. Everything about this track is super banging!

Not a fan of the beat and I'm not liking the hook either. This one is just another ok track. I don't like it as much as you all did that's for sure.

Liked the original more. Digging Kenna and the Cool Kids, but wasn't feeling them on this.

Man... I really like this joint - but a little late fellas? Not sure why more than a year after this project dropped, this remix was released. Oh well, I guess I need to shut up, appreciate it, and look forward to possible future collabos.

This song is totally weird. I don't know if it's the beat to be more weird or how they sing. I'll choose the second option lol! I'm feelin the beat but I don't like so much how they sing...I like the hook more than the verses (strange)! In rotation

heh.... listened to this a few days ago, thought it was alright but moved on. Woke up today humming it. Guess I like it after all :). Beat is pretty infectious once it gets in your head.

Word. I can feel Pharrell all in this track!!! I love the production. A real party vibe to it. It kinda sounds like Bootsy Collins from P-Funk. So that this song is "funky". When's the last time you've said that!!!

I like it!!!
