KID BE KID Releases ‘Lovely Genders’ EP

Avant Neo-Soul meets jazz musician KID BE KID releases her album, Lovely Genders on March 20th via SPRINGSTOFF. While she composed and produced the EP herself, KID BE KID sought assistance from LAD AGABEKOV (Grand Corps Malade, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Octave One) for the master engineering. She has made quite a name for herself on the jazz festival scene, appearing at Fusion Festival (Kate Tempest), Festival International de Jazz de Montreal (Norah Jones, Jacob Collier, Melody Gardot), Elbjazz (Jamie Cullum, Kamaal Williams, Jason Moran) as well as the European Hip Hop Studies Conference, where she appeared as both a speaker and a performer. A number of publications and radio stations have begun to take note of KID BE KID with features appearing in COMPLEX, Medium.com, Worldwide FM and KCRW. Lifted from the album is ‘Slide feat. Julia Kadel & Simon Denizart’ which premiered via BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Jamz Supernova.

Choosing to not restrict herself in any way or form, KID BE KID finds inspiration in just about every genre with artists like Little Simz, Frank Ocean, IAMDDB, Ama Lou, Erykah Badu, Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Nina Simone, James Blake, Dorian Concept, Noname, Bill Evans, Flying Lotus and Noga Erez all coming in to play. With all of these diverse influences, KID BE KID’s own sound sits close to the avant-garde likes of Arca, FKA Twigs and the vocals of Solange.
