Wild and surreal to make this and post it. If you are a āŖ@RecordingAcademyā¬ voting member, please consider āKinā for Best Folk Album and āAuroraā for best American Roots Song š³
From over 500 people funding this record through Kickstarter to the magicians who helped breathe it to life, Kin is *our* album. Thank you for making all of it possible š„¹
I've never been high. It's true! But I have been in love with a gal ;) Taking a silly dive into all things "Never Been High" in the next episode of Kin: The Stories!
I absolutely loved singing songs and talking with āŖ@saltlicksessionsā¬ about my new record. Singing Patty Griffin is always an honor. And getting to sing my song "Aurora," a song a wrote for my son, is just so special. Check it out here :)
I think this might be the first time an album cover doesnāt have my face on it at all. Instead it has pieces of my history and pieces of my future. Itās like what Iāve been doing the past decade - trying to put fragments of memories and pictures of ancestors together so that I can see myself more clearly.
Thank you Destiny Keller for seeing my vision so clearly and for making me cry by crafting it so beautifully into the artwork for āKinā š„¹
Also, on the back cover is my son Auden and my Aunt Michelle š¤
Itās been 10 years. My new album is finally out š. Go listen to āKinā however you please! LISTEN HERE | vyd.co/Kin
Your responses so far are just wrecking me. Thank you for really leaning into these stories. Theyāre incredibly personal and I love that you are finding yourselves in them too š¤
Never Been High is out in the world š¦š vyd.co/Neverbeenhigh I love this song so much and I love who I wrote it for so much too š„². Queer love is the best. There are no rules made by society for us, so there is a whole world of creativity and beauty and freedom just waiting for us. I love that I chose that world with her. This complete #banger of a song couldnāt have been made possible without the brilliance of these people. This song was one of those effortless ones. THANK YOU!
