Independent R&B singer/songwriter Kendallislate returns with a new EP titled “Beautiful Pain,” now streaming on all major platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal.
The eight-song project delves deeply into the complexities of intimate relationships, exploring themes such as love, passion, desire, and the pain of heartbreak with fan-favorites like the modern street ballad “Rolling Up My Sleeves,” sexually explicit “Campbell’s Creamy Cum Soup,” and the beautiful guitar-fueled “My Way.”
With honest, thought-provoking lyrics and her creative delivery, the New York-based artist’s vocals complement the EP’s cohesive instrumentation, creating an auditory experience that sets her apart from her peers.
And to be clear, her wordplay is like the unabashed conversations most would have in private with a close friend. It’s raw and honest, and far from the musical code-switching many current acts try to do, aiming for a wider, maybe even whiter audience.
She embraces her unique voice without the need for mimicry, and there’s no reason for her to conform to anyone else’s style. Whether you appreciate it or not, her artistry undeniably resonates and stands on its own merit.
This is real music coming from an artist who is brave and tenacious enough to be herself in a game where imitation thrives. And if that alone doesn’t inspire you to give Kendallislate’s “Beautiful Pain” an honest listen, you’re probably corny, and it’s not for you.
