Introducing: Keni + her new single 'Sid and Nancy'.

"I want the desperation, I want can’t live without me," Keni sings in her new song 'Sid and Nancy', a song which delves into the desire of wanting an obsessive love to consume you.

About the song, Keni shares: “I always used to take inspiration for my songs from movies and TV shows because I just didn’t think I had any experiences that were worth writing about. When I wrote ‘Sid and Nancy’, the only thing I knew about love was that I wanted it. The intention with this song was not to romanticize a toxic relationship like the one Sid and Nancy had, but to use that as a metaphor for that obsessive, can’t live without each other type of love that I was desperately seeking during a certain time. This is really the first song I wrote based off personal experience so it’s super special to me.”

In the charming music video, the 19-year-old songwriter shows the six stages of a fast-paced love, from 'Stage 1: You See Me Across The Room', to 'Stage 6: Breakdown', with a pig-faced stuffed animal cast as the love interest.
