Alt-rock star on the rise, Kami Kehoe, today ushers in a darker, razor-sharp chapter with her new single, "HEARTLESS", via Atlantic Records. Where past releases traced the full arc of heartbreak and healing, "HEARTLESS" sees Kami flip the script into a love song told from the edge of a potential fallout. Listen to "HEARTLESS" BELOW.
Writing from the perspective of someone who has been burned enough times to go numb, Kami zeroes in on the person who finally makes detachment impossible. Leaning into the reality of choosing to fully love one person meaning that she may have nothing left if they go, Kami reframes the word "heartless" as a consequence of her devotion, rather than indifference.
Coming off the back of her latest single, "FADE OUT,", a cover of "SEX ON FIRE", and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre's most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora's Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM's Octane, Kami steps into the new year with a ballad that's softer in tempo yet even higher in emotional stakes.
As she opens 2026 with the vulnerable, all-in love story of "HEARTLESS", Kami Kehoe wears her heart on her sleeve:
"HEARTLESS is about having one heart and putting it on the line, but wrestling with the idea of finding your person and knowing that if they leave, they take everything you had with them. Seeing people connect with my music everyday has made me a lot less scared of being this honest, because that kind of truth is exactly what makes music worth making for me."
Kami's growing profile extends beyond the music itself, with a feature in the winter issue of Revolver, spotlighting her rise at the intersection of heavy, alt, and modern rock. As she continues to build on the viral success of tracks like, "DOPAMINE" and "SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD", Kami's "HEARTLESS" now steps in as a stripped-back, emotionally loaded marker of where she's headed next.
On stage, Kami's 2026 is already packed with high moments, including a performance supporting Godsmack as a part of WMMR's MMRBQ and her set at Rock Fest (WI), placing her alongside some of rock's most established names.
To begin her 2026 live run, Kami will also return to Los Angeles for a special headlining show at the Roxy on February 19. Fans can find Kami's full touring schedule HERE.

ABOUT KAMI KEHOE
KAMI KEHOE has never been one to wait for permission. At just 22, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and drummer has blazed a fearless musical path, most recently with her latest EP, “Kandy”, out now via Atlantic Records, Coup D’Etat Recordings, and 10K Projects. Since emerging, she’s spun a chameleonic, hard-charged rock sound into over a million Instagram followers, 10 million TikTok likes, and over 75 million streams in 2025 alone.
Unapologetic authenticity propelled her breakout hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD,” from her 2024 album REVIVED (Coup D'état/10K Projects), to audiences around the world in stratospheric fashion. Almost overnight, the garage-punk suckerpunch – the snarl of Joan Jett with the timeless melodicism of the Ramones – ripped through social media at lightning speed, netting Kami 100,000 new TikTok followers a day and further cementing her as a rising force in the underground.
Diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, obsession, and self-discovery, her latest EP, “Kandy” blends dark melodic rock with pop, metal, and metaphor-rich songwriting. Using candy and drugs as symbols for dangerous pleasures, each of the five tracks explore the tangled interplay between allure and risk, offering a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of desire and the consequences that follow. It’s another bold step forward for Kami as she continues to kick down the guardrails of her sound, another entry in her omnipresent push to rewrite what’s possible for her musical future.
After making waves with a standout performance at Warped Tour and playing her very first headlining show, Kami has just wrapped her largest tour yet, joining forces with industry legends, Daughtry, Seether, and P.O.D. She’ll continue to evolve as an artist with the same freedom and fearlessness that’s led her here, another chapter in a career that’s continually defied expectations – not that she’s ever really cared about those in the first place.
