 In The News 
 On his debut EP Chérie, Chennai-based Kevin Fernando takes influence from songwriters across history – Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars. His bubbling, club-friendly set of three tracks is even more accessible because these sensibilities are laid over electronic, acoustic guitar-fed melodies and hooks about love... From fairytale-esque scenarios (on the folksy “Windy”) to making long-distance relationships last (“Bittersweet”) and the idea of friendship building up to something more (the electro-pop, hook-filled “There She Goes”), Chérie has a straightforwardness that not many artists risk. - Rolling Stone India 
 It’s also not like Kevin’s phoning it in; he’s a damn good writer, a good singer, a sensibly restrained guitarist and most importantly, he doesn’t draw out his material for minutes on end. That’s what ‘replay’ does. - Rock Street Journal
