The Southampton-raised producer, singer, songwriter, and DJ Kenya Grace continues to broaden her sonic palette on new single ‘The One You Loved’. As equally symphonic and cinematic as its recent predecessor ‘Naked’, this latest release captures the looming reflections of a breakup pairing vulnerability with exhilarating, cathartic beats nodding to drum & bass. Alongside the release, she shares a new video directed by Joel Palmer that draws the viewer further into her tumultuous love story, shot in London at night time with a dark, Matrix-esque, internet aesthetic.
Speaking on the new single, Kenya shares: “‘The One You Loved’ explores the feeling of realizing too late what something truly meant. Seeing every moment you would change, but being unable to change anything. I wanted to capture the inescapable nature of memory through hypnotic, looping breakbeat rhythms and repetitive vocal chops, creating a sense of being stuck inside a memory, unable to move forward, but unable to let go.”
