New Pop Artist for Summer Playlist Alert: Kaleigh Krause

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Amherst chapter.

New Single:  “Twisted//Mistake”

“This song was inspired by heartbreak and the struggle to cope with losing someone who was once such a staple in your day-to-day life. The vital part about this song is its message that every emotional storm comes to an end and every person is capable of pulling through the heartbreak. Everyone has strength greater than they realize.”

-Kaleigh Krause

    Heartfelt and real lyrics with a catchy hook, Kaleigh, birth name Kaleigh Krause, takes us on an empowered journey of moving on and a refusal to continue to be taken for granted in her new single Twisted//Mistake. Her video’s visuals are just as empowering and quite stunning, taking home a Music California Video Viewer’s Choice Award for her song, Fading. Choice Some of the emotion behind the lyrics can be lost in sound production, but it is no mistake that the lyrics will touch everyone who is (or has) forgiving a guy for his foolishness, was disappointed and realize he was a “good-for-nothing brother” and does not deserve anymore of your most precious resource-time. Nothing lasts forever, and some people are only in our lives for a season–and that’s perfectly fine, and so will you be.  It is definitely a must-have in your playlist if you are trying to get over someone and find that strength, that necessary empowerment to bounce back.
