KINDER RELEASE NEW DANCEFLOOR ANTHEM “BUS STOP”


Joyous, vibrant — a much-needed boost of serotonin – Junkee 

It's without a doubt one of the funnest songs of the year – Pilerats  

Revisiting their roots in club culture whilst paying homage to their ancestral home in Ghana,  Africa, Kinder have effortlessly weaved their identity into this vivid and propulsive dance single – Purple Sneakers 

Kinder have a festival thumper for you – The Interns 

It’s all celebratory music and experiences that bring people together in joy and happiness. The same  feeling they have created with their festival shows is now replicated in their music and that’s exactly  what they set out to do. – Cool Accidents 

This is a duo we should all be watching closely – Women In Pop


After bursting on to the scene with their Australian summer favourite “Come Along” at the end of  2020, respected Ghanaian-Australian singer, songwriter and producer sibling duo Kinder (aka  Savannah and Briony Osei) are back with their musical latest offering Bus Stop”. Stream and  download their new single HERE

On this track we wanted to explore a darker, late night energy that we thrive on at our live shows.  Once we found a beat with the right attitude, the melodies and words flowed effortlessly. Similar to the lyrics in the song, we had "no shame" when writing this, we just let the song run wild.” “Bus Stop” pays tribute to Savannah and Briony’s father Kofi, in a sweet fictional tale about a  character who can’t get off ‘African Time’ — a term Savannah, Briony and their mother use to  describe Kofi’s creative interpretation of timings. Dark and brooding, the song is effortlessly  empowering, ending on a dancefloor climax that enforces the value of forging your path at your own  speed. 

Since the release of “Come Along”, Kinder have been busy establishing themselves as two of the  country’s most celebrated homegrown stars. From supporting international superstar Rita Ora at  Nova’s Red Room last month, to performing at Wine Machine festival and now starring in a national  campaign for Myer. 

Growing up in Maitland, NSW, Savannah and Briony were immersed in music from a young age. This  early musical education gave the sisters an introduction to rhythm and craft, rich beat work and  electrifying charisma. While Savannah took an interest in playing piano, Briony was drawn to  dancing, and the body-moving potential of powerful beats. As teenagers, Savannah and Briony  slowly began to immerse themselves in club culture, finding their way to Sydney to DJ at the city’s  hallowed clubs. Those hole-in-the-wall slots quickly became headline slots, which became festival  and stadium slots, opening for the likes of Marshmello and RL Grime, and performing on national  festival circuits, including the 2017 Groovin’ the Moo national tour. The heart of all Briony and  Savannah’s endeavours, even from their earliest shows, has always remained the same: Kinder want  to bring people joy — to make them dance and smile and forget their troubles, even if only for a  minute.
