iPhone Demo! "Frontlines" (Patron-Only)

ho hey, kg records family. i think i'm coming down with a flu perhaps, so as i'm writing this i feel a bit like i'm losing my mind. or like my brain is falling through my skull/my head is floating off my body. one of those. ANYWAY. if it gets/got weird, now you know why. just gonna let this post flow and hope you all can make some sense of it when it reaches your eyeballs.

i was digging through the vaults looking for something fun to share with you all, and i ended up going all the way back to 2015! i have done very very VERY few co-writes in my day, but a super talented and lovely internet friend from australia, jess chalker, happened to be in town and hit me up, and we decided we'd give cowriting a shot. this is the song that was born as a result of our little meeting some march afternoon five years ago! it never quite got its day in the sun (or even like a minute in the shade), but listening back on it, this song has quite a bit of heart, and i thought it at least deserved a mini life with you all. hope you enjoy "frontlines".

in other news, up until my immune system fell out from under me today, it's been an incredibly fun and productive week in the studio! after a pretty long dry spell from being pulled to create, jesse nudged me into our studio, and 5 days later i crawled out with two songs recorded, produced, and semi-mixed! they still have a ways to go before they are ready for public consumption, but they definitely got my creative juices flowing again and as soon as my head is reconnected to my body i am so excited to get back in there and back to work on more new songs :) hoorayyyy.

ok. it's time for me to go be horizontal. sending you all lots of love and gratitude. what an honor to call you my label family <3 thank you thank you thank you.

I love the song and the vibe :) so beautiful and calming yet encouraging at the same time! <3 thanks for sharing

Listen to your body. If you do that as well as you listen to your heart and lyric soul, you should do well.

This is lovely!!! 💚

Kina! I hope you're feeling better now &lt;3

I'm looking forward to a concert in New York State or Ontario Province!

Thank you for sharing this song. It was so good! I really enjoy it! Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for sharing Kina. Beautiful song! Feel better soon!

It's never too late to do a "real" recording of this! :-D

Wow this is such a beautiful song. It deserves the sunlight so much. Thanks for sharing, lovely Kina. &lt;3 And get better soon!

Another great song from my favorite angel. Sending good JUJU and boo to the flu. Hope you feel better soon Kina and Jesse.

Please feel better! Thanks for the share.

🙂 it’s super refreshing to hear a collaboration 👍🏼 thank you so much for sharing. And I can’t wait to hear your new songs one day. Happy that you’re having a good time in the studio!

It does! It does! It deserves its day in the sun, thank you!

Very good sounds in that demo; really does have that 2015 Kina vibe. Thanks for sharing it, and hope you feel better soon!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm surprised it didn't go past this demo (for now?). Feel better. I highly recommend taking diluted organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar shots. It tastes terrible, but it boosts the immune system. I've been doing it for about five years and have only gotten sick once. Just brush those pretty teeth afterward because you don't want something so acidic hanging out on your teeth. :)

Lots of liquids, ans vitamin C.......lots of rest and a shot of gin before going to bed lol Take care

Love the song! Get better xx

we love it, when you post these demo songs... what a beautiful song! thank you for sharing this with all of us!

Different to what you've done lately. I like the rhythm and cadence. Lyrics that deepen with each listen
