listeners, making them feel as if she’s just given them a piece of her soul.
That holds true with “Love Don’t Love You Back,” which Kayenne wrote with Alce’s production in mind.
Though her music has soulful elements, you can hear the rock and alternative influences of Terence Trent D’Arby and Pat Benatar, and a smoothness in the likeness of Amel Larrieux.
Since her beginnings at Hendu and Crossover Studio around 2003, the raspy-voiced singer has worked with noted Atlanta artists and producers such as Bobby Valentino, Armando Colone and Isaac Hayes III. In 2007, VIBE magazine and Creative Loafing newsweekly both spotlighted Kayenne as a new artist worth watching – and listening to.
In a continued effort to diversify her sound, she began writing with such underground dance producers as Justin Chapman of KemeticJust, and later Kai Alce.
In 2010, Alce and Kayenne would release the breakout No. 1 charting single “Someone,” with help from veteran producer Phil Asher of Restless Soul.
