Yann’s “Shoot Bang Kill” is not just a stand-alone music video but a larger story already taking shape around its release. The song is part of a forthcoming sequence closely linked to “Be My Man”. There’s an interesting sense of continuity between the two releases.
“Be My Man” is an openly LGBT dance tune centered on Yann’s plaintive plea for a loving connection. The link between the two tracks adds another layer of context to “Shoot Bang Kill,” especially for listeners tracking the larger story coming into focus with the artist’s impending releases. One of the more noteworthy elements is the way the two songs link back-to-back flawlessly. That melodic link points to a meticulously planned sequence of songs, rather than a collection of standalone singles, with the songs serving as the opening shots of a story that will continue to unfold over the coming months.
Yann’s style is one of emotional sorrow set to a dance-oriented environment, allowing personal themes to coexist with music made to move. The evolving plot adds another dimension to that balance, asking listeners to see each release as part of something larger.
“Shoot Bang Kill” is basically an introductory statement. It’s not just at the individual track level, but as a prelude to things to come, immediately providing the next “Be My Man” with a sense of continuity.
