10 APRIL 2026 (TORONTO, ON) - Singer and songwriter kenzie released her new 5-song EP notes from the in between today, along with five corresponding videos.

notes from the in between captures kenzie a moment of personal transition, sitting in the space between adolescence and adulthood, certainty and confusion, closure and unanswered questions. Written during a period of emotional and life shifting change, the EP explores themes of loss, attraction, self-doubt, and reflection with unfiltered honesty.

“notes from the in between is a collection of songs written from a place of transition. It lives in the space between who I was and who I’m becoming, before clarity, before answers, before certainty,” says kenzie.

The EP features focus track “sophie,” previously released singles “mutual destruction” and “where do we go,” and two additional songs that move fluidly between playful and heavy moments. Rather than offering neat resolution, the project embraces uncertainty and reflects how life often feels in moments of transformation.

Artist Statement

“I wrote this ep during a period of breakups, not just romantic ones, but friendships too. It was a time where everything I thought was stable started shifting. I was 21, and suddenly I felt the weight of adulthood in a way I hadn’t before. There’s this moment when you realize you can’t go back to being a kid, but you also don’t feel ready to be fully grown. That tension is what runs through every song.

I’ve spent a lot of my life being perceived a certain way, and this project was about stepping away from that pressure. I didn’t want to write songs that wrapped things up neatly. I wanted to sit inside the confusion — the missing pieces, the self‑doubt, the questions that don’t resolve. Some songs feel playful, some feel heavy, some feel uncomfortable. That’s intentional. That’s how life actually feels.

Time machine is about missing childhood and wishing life felt simpler, even though I know I wouldn’t trade my experiences. Kleptomaniac and mutual destruction live in moral grey areas — attraction, self‑sabotage, wanting something you know you shouldn’t. where do we go asks the question I think about constantly: what happens after we die, and does love still matter if we don’t end up together in the end?

I don’t have answers. This ep isn’t about conclusions — it’s about honesty. It’s about allowing yourself to be in between phases without rushing to define them. If there’s one thing I hope people feel when they listen, it’s that they’re not alone in that uncertainty."

About kenzie

Confessional and captivating, kenzie’s left-of-center pop contains the kind of lived-in detail that immediately stirs up massive emotion. Whether she’s reflecting on a recent heartache or opening up about common struggles like anxiety, the 21-year-old singer/songwriter infuses every song with immense sensitivity, along with the same disarmingly genuine presence that’s earned her a major social media following. But as the Los Angeles-based artist reveals, gaining the courage to speak her truth took years of self-discovery and quietly building up confidence.

“When I was younger, I’d go into songwriting sessions and feel like my opinions didn’t matter, even though I was the artist,” says kenzie, “but at the same time I was also writing songs alone in my bedroom, and it felt so therapeutic to get my feelings out. Finally, I decided I wanted to start putting out music I’d written myself—I had a feeling that people could relate to what I was talking about in my songs, and maybe it would help them in some way.”

Signed to Hollywood Records, kenzie matches her unguarded introspection with a moody and mesmerizing sound that endlessly spotlights her spellbinding vocal work—an element she first began honing as a little girl in Pittsburgh. “My mom put me in voice lessons when I was six because I was constantly singing around the house,” says kenzie, who also started dancing at age the young age of two. “Once I learned how to sing, I ended up falling in love with music.” Soon after moving to L.A. at age 11, she began collaborating with hitmaking co-writers and producers, releasing an album in 2018. But it wasn’t until the depths of quarantine that she started to write songs that truly represented her as an artist.

In 2024, she debuted her first album under Hollywood Records, biting my tongue. Off the album’s release, kenzie shared, “biting my tongue is about not allowing myself to be a people pleaser anymore and tolerating others behavior. It’s a time in my life where I found my voice and put it into my life and my craft.” The album included the focus track, “the me i was” which was written by Rosemarie Tan, GRAMMY® and Oscar® award winning D’Mile, Dan Henig, Mackenzie Ziegler and produced by Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II.

2025 saw the release of singles leading up to her new 2026 EP notes from the in between.
