LIZ KENNEDY RELEASES “COYOTE,” EMBRACING NEW MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TO THE HEART

Crafting relatable lyrics comes naturally to Liz Kennedy, who has announced her latest release, “Coyote,” After experiencing a whirlwind of personal changes, the San Francisco-based singer-songwriter has come to see songwriting not as a choice but as something she must do. She recognizes that music is what sustains her and provides a way forward. A decade of critical success as a recording artist has allowed her to grow more confident in her ever-evolving persona—quirky, humorous, and deeply insightful—dedicated to truth and always striving to find something original to say. The single is the third from her upcoming album.

In support of the new music, Liz will release an official video produced by Eric Peltier to accompany her new song, which will be available on her official artist YouTube Channel on February 14.

Adding her thoughts to the song’s meaning, Liz shared, “It was the beginning of the Covid shutdown. The city was quiet. San Francisco. And at the top of my hill, Telegraph, I saw a coyote walking calmly across the intersection for the first time in 30 years. My boyfriend asked me to move to the country with him a few days later. I lived in Sonoma County for 7 months. The pandemic was a different reality for each different person. Being older, I was scared … but safe. Covid changed almost everything. Everything after that is, to me, the afterlife I refer to in the song. “Right here, in this afterlife…” It still feels like an afterlife. The “world spinning crazy.” But living in the country for the first time since childhood brought me hope. I hoped that if I made it through, I’d return and “try to set things right”. Or at least, bake a blackberry pie.”

“Kennedy’s writing makes excellent use of long-standing formulas and consistently finds ways to pour old wine into new bottles. It further aids her efforts that she’s a unique singer with supreme interpretative powers whose performances take already fine lyrics and transform them into mini-epics of the heart.”-Gashouse Radio.
