MONEY

Filled with passion and soul, “Money” combines a bunch of different sounds to create its concoction.

The melodies are infectious and the vibes are on point, as Kinkade shines on this positive come-up track. The satisfying mix of 90s style deliveries and futuristic sounds is a perfect highlight of Kinkade’s overall style.

Opening up Risk It For The Biscuit with “Power” is beyond genius.

POWER

“Power” is an anthem that everyone on this planet should listen to.

“Power” blends upbeat vibes, raps filled with lyrics championing female empowerment, and atmospheric instrumentation. While listening to the song, you will be encouraged to hold your partner tight, possibly light up, dance, and uplift someone in need of support.

“Power” should not be skipped.

SILLY BOY

“Silly Boy” is a brief and lyrically solid track that shows off Kinkade’s sharp rap deliveries.

“Silly Boy” starts out feeling more like a freestyle before switching to more of an R&B style by the end of the song.

Production-wise, “Silly Boy” feels smooth, as the beats and tones layer well with the vocals without taking the focus off Kinkade’s lyrics.

CIRRICULUM

“Cirriculum” is a chill come-up song filled with ambient moody tones and clever and thoughtful lyrics that feel emotional and personal.

Kinkade’s smooth delivery has focused energy and a strong presence throughout the track. If you really want to get to know who Kinkade is, “Cirriculum” will tell you.
