KIRBY - Can We Be Friends? (Single)

Acclaimed American singer and songwriter KIRBY shares a new single, “Can We Be Friends?”, another fresh taster taken from her forthcoming EP “Sis, He Wasn't the One” which is released in October.

KIRBY’s efforts to detail the nuances of relationships are once again unmatched on “Can We Be Friends?”, signing off the EP with a majestic slice of future-facing soul. In her own words; “I think lately I’ve been having a hard time letting go. Because of the pandemic, my relationships feel less disposable to me. I recently fell into a situation that’s teaching me that every love story isn’t a forever story. And though I feel the relationship ending, a part of me wants to still hold on to the person. I can’t help but ask myself if I can do this one differently, that maybe my next ex isn’t my ex at all. We’re more than that; we’re friends. I guess we’ll see how that goes on the next album…”

This new single follows the exhilarating, elastic funk of “Coconut Oil” and the anthemic, retro R&B of “Boyz II Men”, and further showcases the breadth and scope across the 10 tracks on the “Sis, He Wasn't the One” EP, which also features a collaboration with BJ The Chicago Kid.
