Kira Small: Press, Promo & Video

Click below to hear a 40-minute podcast that Bruce and I recorded in Austin. Live performances of 4 songs (2 new ones!) and some fun interview stuff.

Nashville-based Kira Small has just released Love In A Dangerous World, and our guess is that it won't be long before the world, dangerous or otherwise, takes notice.

The title track kicks things off with a laid-back Latin-flavored groove. Things get funkier with "Not Me Without You," a mid-tempo piece in which Small channels the Queen of Soul herself. "Miss You Bad Tonight" practically drips with longing, while the forbidden affair in "Not Supposed To Love You" makes being bad sound oh so good.

Small will woo your ears with stratospheric vocal runs and then dive down to sexy, Earth-mama lows. She may be loving in a dangerous world, but she's certainly giving it a seductive soundtrack.

"Kira Small is a songstress able to transcend her Midwestern upbringing into a sound that is multidimensional and timeless...hers is a voice that gently and at times spiritually strokes the senses like the hairs on a feather, but can still whollop you like a Rocky Balboa knock-out punch.

She jokes that she doesn’t sound like a regular white chick from Milwaukee, and she is dead-on...that girl can 'sang.'"

"This is a singer! Kira Small speaks clearly and directly from a deep place. She compels me to listen, really listen. In doing so, I'm convinced that she believes every word... This is my idea of a real Artist."

“You said she's a great singer, but you didn't say ultimate. I would say the depth and richness in her vocal performances is unequaled anywhere or by anybody.”

"Kira Small is the real deal! A silky, evocative instrument, perfectly controlled by a sensitive soulful woman.”
