OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY ON COMPLETE COUNTRY
On the heels of a banner year with her single “How It’s Done”, Manitoba’s Kendra Kay returns in 2020 lending her powerhouse voice to her latest release “Steady”, available for streaming on all platforms. An uplifting anthem that holds more meaning now than ever, the official music video is as powerful as it is beautiful. Today, Complete Country has the exclusive first look at “Steady”.
‘Steady’ melds together the best parts of contemporary and traditional country, with Kendra’s crystalline vocals that soar through the pop-inspired melody. Written by a heavy hitting group of female songwriters including Madeline Merlo (NBC Songland), Victoria Banks (Jessica Simpson, Sara Evans) and Karen Kosowski (Brett Kissel, Tim Hicks), it’s no surprise that “Steady” has seen great playlist support out of the gate such as Spotify’s Live Country, New Music Friday, New Music Nashville and Fresh Finds Country and had accumulated over 30K streams within a week of its release.
On the track, Kendra notes: “When times get tough, especially these days with everyone staying home and our incredible frontline workers keeping everyone safe, along with the sacrifices their families have made, the message of this song is more important than ever. There are days when I feel like falling apart, and I am so grateful have an incredibly supportive family and team of people around me that are my rocks and keep me strong and pushing forward. This song is a tribute to the people, whether it be family, friends or anyone in between, who are holding each other up and keeping us ‘Steady’. This song is a representation of the amazing support system I, and many other people have, in this “crazy world”.“
The release follows a stellar year for Kendra, including signing on worldwide with Sakamoto Agency, winning the 2019 MCMA Female Artist of the Year, along with earning the MCMA Fan’s Choice Award for the second year in a row. Along the way, she has amassed half a million streams, 17 weeks in the Top 100 Canada Country Airplay and earned a Top Ten spot in the 2020 CBC Searchlight competition. With her love of performing and trademark high energy shows, she has played major events including the CFL Banjo Bowl Halftime show at Investors Group Stadium, joined Tim Hicks on his ‘Get Loud’ Tour and performed with country music icon Patricia Conroy. This has also included festivals such as CCMA Country Music Week, Canadian Music Week, Boots & Hearts Pre-Party, Sunfest Country Music Festival and Dauphin’s CountryFest Mainstage. Along with this, she has opened for artists like Gord Bamford, James Barker Band, Jess Moskaluke and Doc Walker.
