*“It’s called ‘We Made It Thru’ because we’ve come through some of the worst of life’s experiences,” said Neo-Soul/Jazz singer/songwriter Kea about her new single. “That was the vision behind the song. It’s symbolic of us making it through.”
The “We Made It Thru” single is co-written by Lem Springsteen (Kanye West, Queen Latifah). Butter of Bread & Butter Productions is on keyboards, drums, percussion and backing vocals, David Delhomme (Marcus Miller) is on keyboard, organ and lead synth, and Mark Bowers is on guitar and bass. Based in Pittsburg Kea had recently performed during the Austin SXSW when I talked to her.
“They were absolutely wonderful,” she said about the SXSW concert experiences. “I performed at two different venues (Flamingo Cantina and Smokey Creek Cajun Bar & Grill), despite still battling a respiratory virus, I still pulled through.”
“It was an all-black band…ages 22 – 30 and they were very humbling. I like working with humbling musicians,” Kea added.
Kea has been warmly welcomed since she debuted in 2015 by releasing a line-up of singles. Her singles have reached the Top 20 Charts on the UK’s Soul Chart and Top 40 on the DRT Global Independent Airplay Chart.
