Miami's music scene has a forward new face with the debut solo single, "Waterfalls," from Travis Kinsey. Mixing elements of pop rock, indie rock, and alternative rock, the track paves the way for Kinsey's next phase as he takes center stage on his own. After working with local musicians for years, Kinsey has decided to stake his claim, and here is lush instrumentation, raw emotion, and energy that feels fresh and timeless.
"Waterfalls" has the dreamy feel of a spacewalk, but at its heart, it's just good, kinetic, emotive, and very inviting old alt-rock. The production is glossy but still maintains some rawness, offering that delicate balance of transcendent melodies with a down-to-earth core. Kinsey's performance exudes purpose, a testament to his mission of making music that is not only endearingly personal but also universally accessible.
As he assembles his debut EP, Kinsey has been crafting a soundscape designed to resonate with listeners seeking both intensity and intimacy. Drawing influence from a broad range of artists and injecting his own sense of originality, he has firmly established himself as an artist to watch in the alternative rock world. "Waterfalls" is a sign that he'd like to cross the local stage and create some music with universal resonance. For indie and alternative rock fans seeking something honest yet dreamy, this debut marks the beginning of what appears to be something special.
