Kenny, Madeline
Kiss From The Balcony
2025 album from Oakland based Madeline Kenney following on from 'A New Reality Mind' (2023), 'Sucker's Lunch' (2020) and 'Perfect Shapes' (2018). 'Kiss From The Balcony' is a bold, emotionally rich exploration of growth, power, and self-realization. Created with Ben Sloan and Stephen Patota over a few intensive sessions in Oakland, the record evolved from an EP into a full-length album filled with layered sonic textures - from experimental percussion to acoustic guitar. Blending metaphor, vulnerability, and feminist critique, Kenney reflects on love, heartbreak, and agency with a sense of playful resilience. It's a cohesive, genre-blurring step forward in her artistic journey, embracing both the absurd and the profound.
