Kitchen Door

Pop ballad with mid-tempo pulse, steady kick-snare sway, and lifted chorus harmonies; verse keeps it intimate with fingerpicked guitar and soft piano, pre-chorus tightens with rising strings and handclaps, chorus opens wide with stacked doubles and a chantable hook. Add heartbeat toms, a reverse swell into each chorus, and a final key lift. Bright, emotional, close-mic mix with polished radio sheen.
