Kaien Cruz will release debut album ‘KAIEN’ on October 26th.
The South African born artist blends vintage R&B tropes with riveting new ideas, speaking their truth in the process. Finding viral fame with their debut single ‘Love Me In The Dark‘, Kaien was subsequently nominated for Song of the Year at the South African Music Awards.
Songs like ‘Black Ice’ and ‘I Lay’ followed, with Kaien blending soulful vocals with aspects of their South African heritage, melding this with lyricism that evokes Black queer life.
Out on…
