Glittering, Gutsy, and unyielding, Kelley Cole’s latest single, Fantasy, is the next woman power pop anthem. It's the kind of hype up you’d find in the girl’s bathroom at the club; sincerely energizing and benevolent. Driven by buzzing 808’s, expansive synthesis, and a knack for striking lyricism, Ms. Cole asserts her mastery of modern pop fanaticism. In Fantasy, she harps on the sloppiness of the male dating pool with unapologetic jabs such as “you’re privileged needy can’t keep a car clean” and “sick of trying to feed your ego” while expressing a refreshing narcissism towards her own worth. In the unforgettable hook Ms. Cole chants, with unmistakable certainty, “you could never be enough for me” and we all believe her. Reveling in the ornate and opulent essence of Maximalist Pop, Ms. Cole stops at nothing to be heard.
Alternative Pop artist, Kelley Cole. is energized by the dark, gritty, and dramatic reimaginations of everyday life. Hailing from Nashville Tennessee, she writes, performs, and produces her stories from a place of intense urgency, always placing intentional sentiment at the center of her work. She prides herself with exploring the thinning lines of genre, by strolling between the tendencies of dark pop, alternative, and pop rock, but most of all, she longs to reach all who never feel like they belong.
Ms. Cole explores the topics of infatuation, independence and transformation, in a captivating modern voice. Blessed with naivety and cursed by its lessons, she writes of the 20-something experience with all of its electric emotions and primitive spirit.
