Description

KAINA's Next to the Sun was one of the VMP team's favorite releases in 2019, as we loved the album's dedications to KAINA's native Chicago, and her family and the communities that raised her. Dripping in bright production and buoyed by her brighter voice, Next to the Sun is an album about soldiering on despite it all, and remembering to love who you are and where you came from.
