Following up a series of outstanding records shared in 2021, Kristen Kelly is back again with her commanding vocals in tow on an all new single, “Smoke”. Just released on November 10th, the artist has been unbelievably busy over the past year blowing audiences away with her positively charged brand of music.

Co-written with Bridgette Tatum (Jason Aldean) and toeing the line between so many different genres on the production end, that signature essence of Kristen Kelly is still very much front and center on “Smoke”. Like the rest of her burgeoning discography, this song embodies a specific feeling and attitude displayed through her vocal delivery and a story within the song that’s easy to follow along with. With glimmers of classic rock coursing through this loud and empowering track, Kristen has still managed to showcase a masterclass of vivid songwriting, painting a picture in the listener’s head of the personal experience. Just because she’s been touring extensively, doesn’t mean she also hasn’t been laying down gold in the studio in the meantime, and this song is the final result of that.
Through three minutes of runtime, Kristen hooks you in through a catchy guitar riff, but it’s not long until her unique vocals enter the mix to really level up this song so to speak. We mentioned how nicely this blends together multiple styles, and while it certainly leans towards classic country, it’s got that perfect touch of modern to bring on new fans who might be hesitant.
