Kennyhoopla Shares “orphan//”

KennyHoopla just shared the single “orphans//” just a week ago but returns with a new video for the track. While we never want to take anything away from the artist, the single does feature Paramore drummer Zac Farro, who also produced it.

With all eyes on Kenny and what this next chapter will bring, the Cleveland-hailing singer-songwriter releases a Jacob Cooper-directed video for “orphan//” depicting the versatility of his artistry by taking on the role of a creative director of his own image. “I wanted to portray my love of fashion but at the same time capture what it feels like in this industry to have to wear all the hats and do most things yourself these days,” he says of the video. “Sometimes the coffee gets spilled when you have too many things to do at once, but you just gotta work through it.”

Kenny’s commanding vocals charge through ethereal synths and explosive percussion from Zac Farro, who also produced the track. Calling back to Kenny’s pop-punk roots while weaving in new sonic elements, “orphan//” combines nostalgia and newness that feels distinct. Exploring personal grief after the passing of his mother three years ago.
