In an exciting milestone for the world of Teen Pop, rising star Kinley has just dropped her debut single, “Heart Beats”, marking the beginning of an impressive musical journey. Full of strength both vocally and within the lyrics, Kinley doesn’t shy away from anything and delivers the song brilliantly. This is a stunning start to her music career.
Written by the talented duo of Alisan Porter and Ely Weisfeld, whilst it was produced by Porter and Chris Rosa, the song not only showcases Kinley’s vocal prowess but also symbolises the end of one chapter and the commencement of another, especially in terms of toxic relationships and realising that you deserve better. This also effortlessly relates to Kinley’s career as she launches her solo career.
The progressive pop beat allows Kinley to shine, with emphatic drum beats and a slow guitar rhythm, there are clear rock influences, but it’s been plunged into a pop-dance style, with Kinley’s awesome dance vocals leading the rhythmic sensation. She then takes it to a whole new level, as she unlocks heartfelt emotion during the second verse that hits us right inside.
The LA-based artist’s latest release dropped on February 2, 2024; it is a captivating anthem of self-empowerment. In a recent statement, Kinley shared, “‘Heart Beats’ is a relatable song that speaks to anyone who has experienced a one-sided relationship, whether it’s with a friend, a business partner, or a romantic interest. It emphasizes that no one should feel defined by the love or attention of another, and despite the challenges of walking away from a toxic relationship, you will survive. Your heart beats on its own.”
Kinley Cunningham’s artistic journey began in the dance studio at the tender age of two, where she exhibited an undeniable passion and talent for performance. Her remarkable skills led her to win two national titles by the age of nine. From dancing, Kinley transitioned seamlessly into singing and acting, now she blends all three disciplines.
In the summer of 2021, Kinley’s musical journey took centre stage as she auditioned to be in a girl group on the show, Siwa’s Dance Pop Revolution. Her remarkable talents secured her a position in Jojo Siwa’s tween girl pop sensation, XOMG POP! Collaboratively, they produced an EP and two albums, enchanting audiences nationwide with unforgettable performances on global stages and even made appearances on shows such as Ellen. They auditioned for America’s Got Talent Season 17 where they got to the Semi-Finals before being eliminated. She left the group last year and is now forging an exciting solo career, and if this debut single is anything to go by, she’s set to make 2024 her year.
“Heart Beats”, by Kinley, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via Full Out Media. Look out for more incredible music from this rising artist later this year.
