When you dive into a song by Kiana Lede, you can feel her unwavering confidence radiate through each and every lyric. I had the honor of interviewing Kiana Lede about her latest album, 'Grudges', for our issue 15 cover story. As a true fan of her artistry, I was so excited dive into the creation of what I believe is the an ultimate contender for album of the year!!
The raw emotion and powerful vocals shine through in each track, as she lays bare her deepest vulnerabilities and shares her experiences with heartache. It's as if she's reaching into the depths of her soul, pulling out every ounce of pain and anguish she's ever felt, and putting it on display for the world to see. It's gritty, it's powerful, and it's real.
A hug thank you to the incredibly gifted team that worked on this cover editorial 🫶🏾
