Featuring 20 year old BBC Introducing star Leo Stannard (Black Butter), the track now sees a rework from Norwegian star Finnebassen.

Kidnap Kid – Birds That Fly / Moments
Kidnap Kid kickstarts his new label with an anthemic and emotive production that is arguably his best to date. ‘Birds That Fly’ is an indelible cut that’s timeless in nature. It’s accelerated by an equally moving and slick production, ‘Moments’ feat Leo Stannard, a captivating classic in original form as well as the paired instrumental mix.

Kidnap Kid’s versatility is what shines here. Treading a winding path, he originally made his home on the Black Butter label, but has since spread his wings to encompass a more underground aesthetic. This journey has led to the conception of Birds That Fly, a home for his own and other likeminded producers and a platform that will no doubt be a compelling force in the coming months. The vocals on ‘Moments’ belong to singer and songwriter Leo Stannard, who at only 20 years old is also part of the Black Butter family, and was recently supported by BBC Introducing.
