Kindelan has a new single, called “Cigarettes” and it is once again her best yet! It is a dark tale of break up and maybe being spurned. There is anger in Laura’s strong R & B style vocals which skim wonderfully over a funky, jazzy sound with some great folk injections. The lyrics are deep and buzz with an otherworldly electricity fuelled by a solid and powerful fury. Lines like “I’m a ball that’s been thrown
You picked me up then let go. How can you blame where gravity makes me fall?
” sum up those feelings of loss, passion, pain and revenge. This song is first class and if there was any justice in the world would be all over the airwaves.

The video sums up the mood of the song perfectly and is simply darkly glorious. The track is available alongside a song called “Wish I Wrote A Love Song” which is a ‘before’ to “Cigarettes” ‘after’ theme on a 7 inch vinyl release called ‘After Before’. I have ordered my copy, why don’t you do yourself a favour and order one for yourself. You will not regret it! Just click here and buy it via Bandcamp.
