Kenna Blowing Up the UK Press!
Posted 4/4/2008 by TheAdmin
The UK is showing much love for Kenna! Check out some recent press highlights and quotes below:
Click Music Interview
Popjustice UK Feature
Q4 Music Feature
“Kenna has been an unknown quantity over here until now, but the American singer's first UK performance proves revelatory. His cover of Ryan Adams's "Amy" is exhilarating, with the live band and Kenna's dancing for company, and his own "Out of Control" is thrilling, too.”
The Independent
"It’s the moments where Ronson takes a step back and lets his guests perform a song of their own that stand out, such as Kenna’s ‘Out Of Control (State of Emotion)’. The song is as much Bright Eyes as it is N.E.R.D., and he completely holds the crowd – definitely one to watch.”
Gigwise
"…the uber-confident Kenna tears the house down... his 10 or 15 minutes on stage confirmed a future superstar. With moves slinkier than a Timberlake down a staircase, Kenna's presence prevented Ronson's homecoming gig from becoming just a tad underwhelming."
Music OMH
"Kenna, making his London stage debut, was by far the most impressive guest spot of the evening, bounding on to the stage with confidence, clambering up on the venue's speaker system as he performed his forthcoming single 'Out Of Control (State Of Emotion)' - definitely one to look out for in the future."
The One Network (network of 42 regional radio sites)
“…each guest was allowed to do their own thing too. Kenna… was the best, his Out Of Control occupying the formerly unexplored territory between hip hop and The Human League.”
Manchester Evening News
“Rubbing shoulders with The Neptunes has paid off for Kenna. The up-and-coming star, borin in Ethioopia and raised in the US, has been working with the duo for some time now. His excellent second album, Make Sure They See My Face, will be out next month. Like Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo's band N*E*R*D, his music is a mixed bag, blending electro-pop, rock and R&B. The first song of the night, Daylight, sounded amazing. Out of Control and Face the Gun were equally impressive and had the crowd dancing.”

Anti-Valentine’s Day radio promotion kicks off several new initiatives between the artist and Microsoft’s music & entertainment brand
Zune has teamed with the artist Kenna to produce a black 4GB custom Zune media player featuring an original piece of art designed by Kenna and Jeff McMillan called “The Translator.” The artwork is engraved on the back of the player and the devices are numbered and limited to 200 pieces. The custom player is also loaded with the “Say Goodbye to Love” video (directed by Hype Williams), and Kenna’s full album “Make Sure They See My Face.”
Radio listeners at ten different stations can tune in on Valentine’s Day and have a chance to win one of the devices as part of an Anti-Valentine’s Day radio promotion for Kenna’s single “Say Goodbye to Love.” Each winner also receives an exclusive poster based upon the original artwork. "The Zune vision incorporates community and relationships allowing us to share the things we love. Music is one of the things we love. I am excited to share that vision,” says Kenna.
The promotion marks the beginning of several exciting initiatives that Kenna and Zune are building together to roll out during the coming months. Participating stations are KUBE Seattle, KXJM Portland, KPTY Houston, KYLD San Francisco, KBMB Sacramento, KBDS Bakersfield, KZON Phoenix, XHTZ San Diego, KSEQ Fresno, and KCAQ Oxnard.
