The new LP finds this self-proclaimed ‘freestyle improv vocalist’
channelling her trademark impulsive, freeform stylings into a more
reflective set of deeply personal songs that explore escalating
struggles with mental instability and identity.
Kinny’s captivating power and range of vocal expression, her diverse
cultural heritage (a mix of Jamaican, Native Canadian and Swedish), and
the twists and turns her life has taken all feed into the music; and
her richly emotive sound never shies away from a dancefloor-filling
groove or a stream-of-consciousness lyrical flow. The warm, immersive
and soulful soundscape created by Norwegian producer/musician duo
Souldrop (who also produced two tracks on her first album) provides the
perfect cocoon for Kinny’s crystal-edged voice, the eclectic sonic
palette ranging organically from big bassy beats and keys to acoustic
instrumentation and percussion.
