With the original release of her breakthrough single ‘Believe It’ proving to be a huge radio hit in her home country of Ireland, with nearly 10 million radio impacts across stations such as iRadio, RTE 2FM, Spin 103.8, FM104 and many more in the last few months, KEHLI has now returned to unveil the new official video for her stunning release.
Speaking about the video for ‘Believe It’, KEHLI said, “The concept of the music video is around the song which is about a little love story – the music is really upbeat with a bit of disco so the video has a lot of energy to it.
We had some amazing dancers in it and you get to see me dance a bit and let go. You see me just having fun times with my friends in the club which I loved’’
The track was produced by upcoming pop production team Kid Eternal, mixed by Cameron Poole (Anne Marie, Raye, Rudimental, Rita Ora) and mastered by Mike Marsh (Calvin Harris, Sam Smith, Jonas Blue).
Since the original release of ‘Believe It’ last September, a lot has changed for the emerging singer. As well as the enormous response it received from Irish radio, both BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM were regular supporters of the release, and was featured in countless publications including Official Charts ‘One To Watch’, Earmilk, 1883 magazine, The Irish Times, Music Week, Record of the Day, The Digital Fix, Vents Magazine, Record of the Day and Chill Sounds Good.
By the end of 2019, she had collected nearly half a million streams across her Spotify alone. In addition to being invited to perform the infamous studio 8 sessions for RTE 2 fm, KEHLI was also named one of Top 5 emerging female acts to watch in 2020. Famed French HipHop DJ/Producer ProleteR heard the track and loved it so much he put his remix to it, which will be released next month.
Her previous offering ‘One Last Kiss’ reached top 5 positions in three key UK club charts including contemporary pop (#4), urban (#3) and club urban (#3). Watch the video for ‘One Last Kiss’ HERE
Hailing from Dublin, 19-year old KEHLI is a vocalist and performer with a soulful, passionate and unique interpretation of contemporary pop music. She spent her early years at stage school, where from age 5, she studied music and professional dance including contemporary, hip-hop and ballet.
Her evolving passion for music and performance encouraged a 14 year old KEHLI to try her hands on a couple of TV music shows (usual suspects The Voice/X Factor etc.) which at such a tender age, provided invaluable experience and gained her a small cult online following.
Rehearsal footage of KEHLI singing Jorja Smith’s ‘Let me down’ made its way onto Instagram and was met by an extremely positive response with over 22K views in its first 48hrs. This encouraged KEHLI to continue to pursue her passion for music.
It was this experience that led to an intro to producer/songwriter MSRD - now New York/London based, who’s worked closely with KEHLI to help hone her sound. Other collaborators include the likes of London based Cameron Gower-Poole (Anne-Marie, Raye, RAY BLK) who has worked closely on KEHLI’s forthcoming debut, a soulful, edgy, pop infused EP also featuring mixes by Josh Gudwin (Julia Michaels, Post Malone, Halsey).
2020 is on track to be an exciting one for this young Irish talent and her music.
