NEW SINGLE CHANNELS 90S RIOT GRRRL AESTHETIC AND SHOWS OFF CELEBRATED SONGWRITER’S DYNAMIC RANGE
Kelly McMichael returns with “Bomb” – a 90s throwback à la Riot Grrrl rocker available to stream and buy today.
An honest and empowering anthem, “Bomb” is inspired by taking back the pain you’ve experienced, owning it, and turning it into something explosive and beautiful. A cathartic release that begins as a pit in your stomach and bursts into a shooting star across the sky, the track “Bomb” uses the anger that comes from being wronged — an outrage that isn’t ready to subside — as the fuel of resilience.
Notably the most incensed track on her upcoming LP, After The Sting Of It set for release this fall, “Bomb” offers a stark contrast to the piano-driven 70s folk-rock stylings of her last release — split single “You Got It Wrong” and “Too Soon To Tell.” McMichael is no stranger to experimenting with different genres, eras, and emotions — “She’s blowing and there’s nowhere for it to go” — lyrics that leave us all too curious about the emotional trajectory we will experience throughout her sophomore album.
On the heels of these new singles, Kelly McMichael performs two shows in Ontario supporting Gentlemen Reg. Dates and ticket links are as follows:
May 28 – Toronto, ON @ Burdock
May 29 – Guelph, ON @ Silence
After The Sting of It acts as the follow-up to 2021’s Waves, McMichael’s breakthrough debut solo album which earned her a slew of noteworthy accolades including a spot on the shortlist for the Polaris Music Prize, an East Coast Music Award for Rock Recording of the Year, and three MusicNL Awards, including Songwriter of the Year.
