At just 16, pop and indie singer-songwriter Kennedy Bane is already proving herself as both a performer and writer, creating songs that resonate with listeners through honesty and emotion. Since her 2024 debut, she has blended raw feelings with personal storytelling.
Her new single, “Too Late,” follows her debut, “Miss Me,” which earned national attention on SiriusXM Hits 1’s HitBound channel with Mikey Piff. That track introduced Kennedy to a wider audience and showcased her talent for balancing vulnerability with confidence. Produced by Bryan Todd, her first release was praised as “incredibly mature yet wonderfully youthful and fresh,” drawing early comparisons to Billie Eilish and Tate McRae, a strong launch for Kennedy’s career.
With “Too Late,” she explores the experience of leaving a damaging relationship. The song carries a sense of closure, with lyrics that capture both the pain of letting go and the relief that follows. As the singer explains, “‘Too Late’ is about the pain of being let down by someone you trusted. It’s the moment you realize it’s over and you have to walk away for your own heart.”
The track builds steadily, weaving a hypnotic melody with Kennedy’s expressive vocals to create something both intimate and powerful. It channels the rush of heartbreak while underscoring the importance of moving forward.
What makes “Too Late” stand out is Bane’s ability to channel emotion while staying focused and intentional. The chorus captures a universal challenge, the difficulty of saying goodbye, and the blend of her voice and songwriting gives the track lasting impact.
With her debut EP set for release in October, “Too Late” offers a glimpse of where Kennedy Bane is headed as an artist. Since beginning her journey in 2024, each release has added to her growing presence in the pop landscape. Focused on both songwriting and performance, she is quickly emerging as a name to watch, already showing her ability to connect with a wide audience.
