Kanisha K has been a favorite of this writer since she was first introduced to us by Ue3 Promotions in August 2014. During that time, she has upped her skills, had her music placed in more and more stores across the country, and received media and critical attention, including nominations for several awards. This writer has shared her music through several media outlets, including Examiner.com, AXS.com, and Indie Voice Blog, adding them to the list of media outlets that look forward to each new release.
Her new single, “Bet on Me,” should quickly rise up the charts after its release on Friday, February 17, 2017, and will be available on iTunes. It was co-written and produced by Joe Vulpis, who has worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, Richie Blackmore and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Having been a fan of her music for several years now, we can truly say that “Bet on Me” is the best song Kanisha has released to date. This power ballad captures the amazing tone of her voice and provides the perfect vehicle to announce to the world that she has truly arrived and is a good bet for musical greatness. We look forward to hearing this song on Top 40 radio.
“Bet On Me” continues the dynamic creative relationship between Kanisha and Vulpis that began in 2015 with the single “Oh Damn Yeah” (which was released to both Top 40 and CHR radio) and was mastered by Tom Coyne, who has worked on projects by Adele, Beyonce, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, Pink and Ariana Grande. The song also became popular during the Summer Olympics in Brazil.
“The song is about feeling like the underdog and asking the question, ‘If I were at my lowest point,’ would you still bet on me and take a chance on me?’” says the Holland, Michigan based pop singer. “I wrote it in kind of a love song mode but am in a very different place in my life now, so I can embrace its much deeper meaning. When we’re not at our best, are the people we love and count on going to be there for us through the hard times? Who’s going to stick around and who is not? I’m really proud of ‘Bet On Me.’ It’s a powerful and inspiring song and I love belting it out!”
We think that Kanisha K is a worthy investment. We can hardly wait to hear the rest of the new music she is working on in Nashville with such veteran songwriters as Britton Cameron, Nathan Meckel and Jane Bach. If it’s anything like her past work, then we think you the listener should heed Kanisha’s advise to “Bet on Me.”
