First-generation Latina artist KAINA has announced her debut LP Next To The Sun out July 12th via Sooper Records (Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, Sen Morimoto, Miranda Winters, etc..). The singer/producer creates generational music that surpasses borders, a unified expression of her native Chicago, coupled with her Venezuelan and Guatemalan heritage. Produced by KAINA and Sen Morimoto, the album is indebted to Latin music while remaining bound to the soulfulness of Chicago; a theme not only expressed through her music but through her unique come up in the burgeoning Chicago scene. Having worked and sang with the likes of Saba, The O'My's, and Sen Morimoto, working behind the scenes with Jamila Woods and Ravyn Lenae KAINA has lived in, developed and been accepted by rap, R&B, and indie worlds. A visual representation of her personal and musical identity was crafted into the video for the previously released first single "Green" a Jean Deaux-directed video that saw people of all ages and backgrounds breaking bread with one another - a colorful, blended representation of what family means to the singer.

Today you can hear the next single from the album "Ghost", a hauntingly deep-pocketed track that continues to explore the singer's Latin-inspired sonics blended seamlessly with Chicago soul, R&B, and blues. If you're in Chicago she'll be having her release party at Lincoln Hall on July 14th. Tickets for that are on sale here.
