Danny Kuttner – “Big Mouth” song review: jazzy breeze, playful bite

<p>Danny Kuttner’s “Big Mouth” is a jazzy, soul-warm rush—airy vocals, tight groove, and a hook with a playful wink.</p>

“Big Mouth” is Danny Kuttner loosening the shoulders—laid-back jazz-tinted soul with airy vocals and a wink, released 19 Sep 2025 ahead of her album Lilly (24 Oct 2025, Mudita Records). 

Gal Oved (also the album’s producer) is in the writing room with Danny Kuttner and Matan Egozi, a trio whose touch keeps the groove tidy and the song light on its feet. 

“Big Mouth” starts from a simple wish, open your lungs and sing, and rides that feeling all the way to the stage. 

The arrangement keeps things light and sun-warmed: brushed drums, soft keys, and a vocal that feels close enough to be a conversation. This musical lightness perfectly matches the theme.

Kuttner says this one is about losing yourself in the moment and having fun; you can hear that in the grin tucked into the phrasing and the chorus that lands fast. 

It began even smaller: a lo-fi beat and a verse melody, built on a steady bass loop that pushed it toward a hip-hop sketch. 

As it grew, she and her collaborators let their imagination run, keeping the release playful rather than heavy.

The title’s a tease, not a scold. Lines about secrets, sunshine, and “kids under the sun” keep the tone breezy while the band moves in easy circles around her voice. 

It’s playful by design; Kuttner tips her hat to the big-voice spirit she loves (think Aretha Franklin and Nai Palm) without trying to mimic anyone; the track keeps her soft focus and modern neo-soul lean.

There’s timing here, too. The single arrives in the run-up to Lilly, a deeply personal album shaped by a period of reflection after the passing of her grandmother (the album’s namesake).
