KennyHoopla is using his art to grieve his late mother, who passed three years ago, on his new track, “orphan//.” The track will be part of his upcoming EP conditions of an orphan// out on September 19 via The Orchard. KennyyHoopla notes of the raw indie rock-laced lead single, that “orphan//” is about “trying to sift through the process of grief for someone else. The right answer is that there is no right answer. Pain is fluid.” He adds, “I felt the strongest about the song from the start. It’s about wanting to pick someone up and help them—but there’s no single way to grieve.… Read more »
