Pop newcomer Kiara Nelson is back with her second offering since her debut single “Adore You” captivated us all and earned over 1.5 million streams on Spotify. Her new single, “Kisses For Breakfast” is as sweet as it is catchy. It is a track that feels destined to fill dancefloors everywhere, a delicious fusion of pop, soul and R&B. Truly, the ultimate part crowd pleasing combination.

On the surface, it is easy to just bop along and enjoy the sound of what initially feels like typical, female-voiced pop. But this is more than just a fun, peppy song. It delivers a beautiful and positive message that everyone should hear. Speaking about the lyrics, Nelson explains:

“Kisses For Breakfast to me is a very sweet and special song about meeting someone that changes you for the better. A person that makes you want to dive in fully into the relationship even if you’re someone who’s usually scared to catch feelings. I think the song is a cute representation of the beginning of a relationship when you realize you really want to hold on to someone. And give them kisses for breakfast every day!”

The way Nelson’s vocals soar so confidently over the music tells us that she has absolute faith and belief in the lesson this song aims to teach us. And that gives the track a depth rarely seen or felt in the pop genre. You can really hear the depth of her conviction for the material which adds an extra dimension to the song.

Nelson is a true embodiment of female empowerment in the pop industry today. Having overcome stage fright thanks to her mother lovingly dragging her to karaoke nights and being raised in Finland amongst a family of strong women, it is no surprise that she has come to embrace her feminine power. That rings true in this track. To love someone is an immensely powerful thing, and to do so without allowing yourself to become afraid, is simply epic.

The singer may still be a relative newcomer, but having opened for Justin Bieber and earning more than 18 million streams on Spotify for M-22’s “Adore You,” on which she lent her stunning voice, she is definitely paving her way towards bigger and greater things. Kiara Nelson is definitely one to watch.
