The music of R&B artist Kennedy Rd. sounds like Aaliyah on LSD -- a euphoric haze whirlwind laced with honey-dipped nostalgia. Her sophomore EP Still Luv exhibits remarkable intentionality and confidence, making it resoundingly clear that 2021 will be her breakout year. Shelica and I talk to Kennedy about making and releasing new music during the pandemic, the importance of aligning herself with producers over mere beatmakers, and why she is forever indebted to Mary J Blige's Share My World.
