In 2023, Madeline Kenney released A New Reality Mind, which was our Album Of The Week. Today, the Oakland-based singer-songwriter is announcing its follow-up Kiss From The Balcony and sharing the breezy lead single "All I Need."
"This was an Imagined Love song — trying to create something perfect and soft and yet realistic; the feeling of falling into someone after a long day, an imagined cheek so soft you could live there," Kenney explains. "I think a good love song has to include something about feeling like the only ones in the world who 'get it.' I like to think of the Kiss From The Balcony as the totally wild and foolhardy desire to love, to blow a kiss to the universe, despite it all."
Kenney made Kiss From The Balcony in collaboration with Ben Sloan and Stephen Patota in a two-week session. "All I Need" is a lush, contemplative tune and it's accompanied by a great Jimmy Whispers-directed music video featuring horses and swords. Watch below.
