Three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and one-fifth of Pentatonix Kirstin Maldonado launches a new chapter in her already impressive career, rebranding herself as kirstin and making her solo debut with the release of "Break A Little." The announcement comes after considerable speculation, with fans buzzing about the possibility of a solo project since last week's premiere of Helena Legend's "Dose of You," which does in fact include vocals from the Pentatonix standout. Her debut single "Break a Little" is the first of new music from kirstin, who will also release her debut EP this summer via RCA Records. "Break a Little" is available to stream/download across all digital service providers now.
Produced by David Pramik, "Break a Little" is a musical departure from kirstin's a cappella roots, and finds the singer exploring a stylized combination of pop vocals and electronic production. An evocative mix of piano chords and breathy synths paired with kirstin's standout vocals, "Break a Little" is an emotional, yet reaffirming track, as the chorus breaks out into a dance-y, infectious beat while the singer declares, "Every time I see your face, I break a little."
"I'm so proud of 'Break A Little'," says kirstin. "I always wanted to write a sad song that sounds happy. I think everyone can relate to this emotion. It's about longing for something. You're attracted to a vice or person you know you shouldn't come back to, but you can't help it."
