Kirklandd The Love Divide

Canberra artist Kirklandd has completed the release of his debut EP 'The Love Divide' with his latest track "Too Late". The acoustic guitar-led track blends his signature rap stylings with percussive, acoustic elements and an addictive melody, proving that Kirklandd is an artist unafraid to blend genres and expand his horizons.

"'Too Late' was an idea Cam (Bluff) and I started back in January, right after I played NYE on The Hill, my first interstate festival," said  Kirklandd. "The track's a reflection of a more chilled time; we were in the studio on a hot Melbourne day and were vibing a few acoustic guitar loops. We came across an idea that blended acoustic, folk and pop elements, but that also allowed me to deliver the 90s inspired flows I love.

Following on from the first two chapters of The Love Divide, the concept of 'Too Late' explores the moment where things are great; I've finally found myself happy in a relationship, but I keep making small mistakes that keep adding up. I keep being forgiven, I promise I'll change, but now it's been one too many times. I'm left wondering if I realised my mistakes a little too late."

"Too Late" follows the release of Kirklandd's addictively melodic singles "SIIYE" and "Feel Alive", which provided a taste of his ambitious new style, blending elements of punk, trap and pop. 

Released to extensive critical acclaim from the likes of PileRats, MTV, triple j Unearthed and Tone Deaf, the EP promises an exciting direction for Kirklandd.

Kirklandd is well established in the Australian music scene, having appeared on the festival stages of Spilt Milk, Groovin the Moo, and NYE on the Hill, and collaborated with the likes of Genesis Owusu and Zellow. He has also caught the attention of industry heavyweights, landing a spot as triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, winning the Groovin' the Moo triple j Unearthed competition in 2019, and being nominated (now twice) in the National Live Music Awards as Best Live Act for Canberra.
