KIRKLANDD’S DEBUT EP ‘THE LOVE DIVIDE’ OUT FRIDAY 16TH OCTOBER
Canberra artist Kirklandd has completed his trilogy EP The Love Divide, with latest track “Too Late”. The guitar-driven track blends his signature rap stylings with percussive, acoustic elements and an addictive melody, proving that Kirklandd is an artist unafraid to blend genres and expand his horizons. “Too Late” follows the release of Kirklandd’s addictively melodic singles “SIIYE” and “Feel Alive”, which provided a taste of his ambitious new style, which amalgamates elements of punk, trap and pop.
Released to extensive critical acclaim from the likes of PileRats, MTV, triple j Unearthed and Tone Deaf, the EP promises an exciting direction for Kirklandd. Featuring an 8-piece band, Kirklandd’s virtual tour for his trilogy of singles is taking place in partnership with Support Act, raising money for their COVID-19 emergency relief fund, set up to help those in the music industry affected by the pandemic. The second performance of The Love Divide Experience, for “Feel Alive,” was streamed on October 3rd.
Kirklandd is well established in the Australian music scene, having appeared on the festival stages of Spilt Milk, Groovinthe Moo, and NYE on the Hill, and collaborated with the likes of Genesis Owusu and Zellow. He has also caught the attention of industry heavyweights, landing a spot as triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, winning the Groovin’ the Moo triple j Unearthed competition in 2019, and being nominated (now twice) in the National Live Music Awards as Best Live Act for Canberra.
