Released on August 18, 2023.
It’s a story about seeking connection in a setting perfect for new friendships. This video takes place in the beautiful tourist haven of Cavendish. Full of nostalgia, fun and playful moments, it captures the best parts of a summer holiday in PEI.

I wrote this song in the city of love, as the lyrics go, before it all turned sour. To me the video gives a feeling we’ve all felt: the depth and complexity of the human experience.

Run With You

Released on Nov. 6, 2020.
Run With You is a letter to a cool Canadian rock singer I have always admired. No matter what I am feeling the sound of her voice can make me drop everything and dance. In this song I wanted to thank her for the amazing music and the way it makes me feel. It is about how I want to hang out with her and not feel or care about anyone else’s judgement. 🤩🙏🐎🎉💙💜

Featuring footage from EXHIBITION DRIVE, a documentary by Jason Arsenault produced by Jeremy Larter. Huge thank you to everyone at Red Shores including but not limited to David MacKenzie and Lee Drake. You helped make our childhood Gold Cup & Saucer race dreams come true!

Tuesday’s Child

Back to school might look a little different this year, but the same anxieties around fitting in and bullying never change. KINLEY talks to local PEI artists, Vince The Messenger (Daniel Butterfield) and Zaneta Ambassa about the high school experience, bullying and finding your people. Join the trio as they share their astrological signs and advice on how to be true to you. KINLEY’s song “Tuesday’s Child” talks about the challenges of fitting in and being confident in yourself. Video by Retrospective Pictures.
LYRICS for version with Vince The Messenger

 

WASHINGTON

After attending the Womens’ March in Charlottetown on January 21, 2017, a friend of my family told me I should go write about what we saw. I went home and watched hours of live footage from the Womens’ March in Washington happening the same day. I wrote this song to do my part in the fight for equality. I entered and won the Womens Freedom Song Contest, an international songwriting contest to “find the next female anthem”. I recorded this song on an album with Dennis Ellsworth, but I recorded it again, with a different feel.Aidan Searle made this AWESOME lyric video for you! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️👯‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Produced by Colin Gilmore Buchanan with Greg Alsop (Tokyo Police Club) on drums, “Run With You” appears on my self-titled sophomore studio album released on February 21, 2020. 🥳The track features backup vocals from my amazing cousin Liam Corcoran (Two Hours Traffic). He also helped write the chorus! What a gem! 💎

LIGHTWORKERS

I wrote this love song for my best friend Chrissy and her amazing fiancé Ryan. It's the story of them meeting and falling in love and becoming engaged, but also a call to all the Lightworkers (A lightworker is a special person that some people believe has an almost psychic ability to intuit what other people are thinking, feeling or need, in order to heal.) to help Ryan heal quickly from his cancer diagnosis. After a 14-hour surgery and many good vibes being sent to him, he has made an incredible recovery and they will be getting married in PEI at a later date!

GOLDEN DAYS

A love letter to Prince Edward Island in the summer. A call to all who have moved away out West to find jobs, to remember the simplicity of life and the beauty of nature and how good it is for your soul to swim in the ocean and be with friends. A call to be yourself. The “Golden Days” video has been licensed by the PEI Government as part of its repatriation campaign for 2018-2020. The campaign kicked off with a month long “Maybe You Should Come Home” contest in August of 2018. The winner, who had the most compelling story to return home to PEI won a free one-way airplane ticket to PEI from anywhere in the world.

MICROPHONE

"From the moment Kinley shared it with me, her song ‘Microphone’ would not leave my mind. I listened to her song on repeat for months on end. I couldn’t shake the fact that she had kept it in inside of her for over a decade and how that must have impacted her every step. Over the year that we worked together to get the video off the ground we consistently heard horrific stories of sexual assault in the media both nationally and internationally. Around the time of pre-production, the results of the ‘Unfounded’
investigation were published. We knew the time was now. We wanted to weave as many of these courageous survivors’ stories into the video. Our aim for the video is that it serves wake up call for our society that sexual violence is a systemic issue and we need
to do better." - Jenna MacMillan (Director/Producer)

BLACKBIRD 2.0

Lonely Kid and I teamed up to produce “Blackbird 2.0” and we couldn’t be more jazzed with the result. Lonely Kid was inspired by my song “Blackbird,” and created this upbeat dance edit as a result. We loved making this video of us biking around our hometown of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. We got to highlight fellow artists and local landmarks in the city.

 

BLACKBIRD

‘Blackbird’ is an ode to the jealous ex-lovers of your current lover. Sometimes it’s easier to sing about petty issues poetically than to confront them face to face. There also happens to be a lot of black crows that take over Charlottetown at dusk. A lot of people are really cheesed off by them and how they run the city. Personally I think it is quite a beautiful sight to see them flock from the surrounding communities and come together in the tall trees at Victoria Park. The dance was choreographed by the talented actor/artist Maria Campbell. 

 

never coming home

One day my friend Jenna MacMillan (aka Jenny MakeMillions) and I agreed to make a video for a song my bud FWLR and I wrote. Geez, what a day we had! This is the result. Hope you enjoy. (:

KATHLEEN

I was at a pool party and was mesmerized by the amazing diving from Kelly McMichael (of the band Renders). She is a real life mermaid.
