KennyHoopla rips off another raw layer of this artistry with the new release "ONE TULIP//." Swapping the explosive energy of those previous anthems in exchange for something more restrained but no less intense, Kenny writes herself into a brooding, inward-looking song that sounds like a late-night confession no one was ever meant to hear.
Self-written and produced, "ONE TULIP//" grapples with the quiet chaos of pushing oneself too far, the pain of feeling misunderstood, and the heavy toll of uncertainty. Over guitars suffused with dark-wave melancholy and serrated percussion, Kenny's voice flutters between a throat-latched plaint and a soaring, cathartic exhalation. "I wait all night for you to come and haunt me. But you never come, and I don't know why," he sings, stuck somewhere between yearning and disappointment.
Unlike his previous sonic cries to the world, "ONE TULIP//" is a melancholic love letter to the people-pleaser running on fumes. It's a song that doesn't demand you hear it but opens its arms and beckons them into its shadows, echoing for anyone who's ever felt invisible even when they pour out their heart.
With "ONE TULIP//," KennyHoopla extends his sound and deepens his emotional imprint, reaffirming that he's an artist unafraid to swim through the depths of his psyche. "ONE TULIP//" is for the people who overthink and give too much, those who remain behind to wait for something or someone that will never come.
