Austin based R&B soul singer and songwriter Kelly Hafner
is set to embark on aUS tour this August! She is touring in support of her new
album If It's Love. Her show-stopping voice and unmistakably improvisational
style keep listeners hooked from start to finish. Echoing the traditions of her soul forebears
like Etta James, Lauryn Hill, Marvin Gaye, and Amy Winehouse, If It's Love
tests the boundaries of neo-soul in a refreshing way.
The new album takes a dive into a soulful journey that
highlights the depth ofHafner’s voice. The 10 track album keeps you listening
for more as Hafner’s voice takes you on a journey with songs like vintage vocal-driven
title track and lead single “If it’s Love.” She comments, “It’s about having
faith in trusting your gut, your intuition when it comes to the person you’re
meant to be with, and the path to take in life. It’s half about falling in love
and about going through life authentically and without doubt. No matter how
hard it is to honestly reflect on where we’re at in the moment.” Hafner’s
lyrics “Birds fly high, time moves slow, somehow they always know where to go”
highlight this sentiment.
In the end, Hafner’s view of her own music is what gives it
true soul. She explains, “This release
is for anyone who finds peace or happiness from listening to the songs, to
express truth rather than perfection, to be an understanding force for people
who need it, when they need it. There’s something special about communicating
with people through sound, before even meeting them. That I think is magic.”
