“Born and raised in Los Angeles CA and now making her home in Nashville TN pop and creative artist Krigarè is one to take major note of. She is not your typical pop, alternative artist. She is a master thespian and one of many gifts. Her creative work in imagery is a huge plus that we receive when we watch her work unfold. The collection is a declaration to her maturity and her many talents. Krigare is one to definitely place high on the watch list for 2018 and beyond. Krigare is a major player in the music industry and she will keep moving up quickly……. as she has said…. she’s a Warrior. This is her battlefield now.”
Sherryl Craig - Nashville Music Guide

“If there is an artist to watch out for over the next year, it’s Krigarè. Between her eclectic visuals and unique ability to morph her experiences into art, Krigarè delivers straight from the heart and makes that known throughout her latest album release... Krigarè is a unique human being who is a star in the making. If you’re a fan of fellow musicians such as Purity Ring, Grimes and iamamiwhoami, then keep an eye on the ride ahead for Krigarè.”

“NEW ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:KRIGARÈ OFFERS SHOCKINGLY BEAUTIFUL ‘SILHOUETTE’. Granted “Silhouette” is just one track on the self-titled debut by singer/songwriter Krigarè, but this track along with many of the others on the album indicate what the album is meant to be about: it’s a raw, unornamented snapshot of Krigarè’s life and perspective at this point in time, and the resulting picture is rooted in the feelings of present time, life and breath.The album’s style is rooted in dubstep, surprisingly, but with heavy doses of synthy dream pop to round off the harsh edges of the beat and bass. Something that also stands out in this electronic sound of Krigarè’s is a lot of very sophisticated harmonizing in the vocals. She seems to have a preternatural sense for harmonies and combining chords to get the deepest possible connection and impact out of her audience. It certainly works. Between the beats and the harmonies, Krigarè’s music will get into your chest.”

“Our notable discovery Swedish Nashville-based cinematic alt pop singer/songwriter Kennedy Nöel known musically as KRIGARÈ who we first introduced early last year when we shared the lyric video to her single 'Heights', has released her full-length self-titled album which is one you definitely want to check out. The cinematic sound she brings is one I truly can't get enough of and her story which is portrayed through her music is truly one of inspiration. This is one notable artist who truly lives up to what her name translates to be which is Warrior. Be sure to check out her 12-track self-titled album of which you can find the track list and link to below and also be sure to check out the lyric video she recently for her single 'Silouette'.”
Musical HeARTbeat - Musical Heartbeat

“Krigarè’s self-titled album is the epitome of introspection as she takes that necessary journey in finding herself and her purpose in life while battling her demons. From the first track, ‘Silhouette’ it is evident that on this journey she is “trying to survive,” but the only way is to keep maintaining a light in the darkness. The album maintains a theme of self-reflection and survival, then we get to the track ‘Royal Blood’ which comes off as an anthem to of self-realization and self-acceptance, being secure in the understanding of the fact that she is here and ready, “coming for the crown.” The latter portion of the album carries a more victorious tone, with tracks like ‘Destiny’, ‘Let Go’ and ‘Sparks’, where she accepts her destiny, “pushes through the pain” and spreads her light. This album is pure and gives us a look into the mind of Krigarè, and maybe even ourselves, making it a great listen!”
Brandon Wint - Grunge Cake

“Krigarè’s work is filled with light and shadows that embrace the scars and wounds that help shape us. Her Self-Titled distills raw emotional power, magnifying the rich, intense, and textual dreamy soundscapes that Krigarè creates with her elegant and vulnerable vocal abilities. This is a polished and solid release. Krigarè delivers with a moving sound and a readily introspective look that captivates with the flair for the dramatic.”
My Nguyen - The Celebrity Cafe

“Visionary artist Krigarè has new album for your emotional and musical enjoyment. Krigarè self-titled album takes listeners through stories of devastation, trial, and overcoming. This album is inspired by so many different genres and artists Krigarè looks up to. She believes this is what makes us, the listener, feel like we are truly going on this journey with her.”
FG2G - From Girl to Girl

“Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote, “Without music, life would be a mistake”, and it would be foolish to compound that mistake and not give a listen to the new self-titled Krigarè’ album. It’s music. It’s art. It’s life. It’s not secret that I’ve been waiting, not so patiently, for this album to be released. Simply put, Krigarè’s is life. Her music resonates within me, simultaneously breaking and healing my heart over and over again. However, when I slipped those headphones over my head, nothing would prepare me for the emotional rollercoaster of a ride I was about to take. Krigarè’s “cinematic pop” sound is as rich and complex as music gets, but the one thing that stands out is how easy an album it is to immerse yourself in. There is world building in the album, as the music progresses, you find yourself wrapped up in life and death, struggle and acceptance, youthful exploration and profound self-discovery. Lyrically, the album is as strong as it could possibly”
Nick Wilkinson - Totally Driven Entertainment

“Krigarè: THE ALBUM! I must say, this was worth the wait. I may sound biased, but I honestly and truly love this album. Not since Noah and the Whale’s second release THE FIRST DAYS OF SPRING have I really enjoyed an album so thoroughly. There is a lot of love, attention, energy and heart in this release. I as always look forward to the next step that Kennedy takes in the world of music and hope that everyone gets a chance to hear this masterpiece. Krigarè is a european word for warrior, Kennedy proves that she is an almighty fighter in both her own life and in the musical realm! Final rating: 10/10 (yes, I said 10!)”
Jonjo Cosgrove - KRIGARÈ - The Album

“LA’s Neo Noire brings a touch of the gothic to electro music.New collaboration with Krigarè, On The Hunt combines twinkling minor chords on the piano with big electro beats. Kirgarè’s vocals bring a touch of suspense.”
Graeme Smith - York Calling

“The Los Angeles-based music collective NEO NOIR is back with this year's second single. On the Hunt (Following Made for You) we can hear the Nashville-based singer Krigarè. Nice cinematic feel of the song that alternates between the haunting in the song and the explosive in the heavy beats. Very tastefully done.”
Johan Alexed - PopMuzik

“NEO NOIR PEOPLE! If you’re in Hollywood and making an end of the world movie, just take a listen. Bradley Allan and Greg Ogan who make up Neo Noir produce nothing but cinematic masterpieces. This time, they’ve teamed up with Nashville vocalist Krigarè who has an interesting story. She’s known for her intense storytelling, which makes her a perfect match for Neo Noir’s big emotion productions. Krigarè got her start in the music industry backing the piano during Kelly Clarkson’s Because of You performance at the Grammy Awards. I’m going to keep going because I was impressed by all these names! She’s co-written with Grammy winning top 10 chart writers Matt Squire, Andy Dodd and Jessi Alexander. She grew up in a Grammy family, and has the talent to back it up. What’s more impressive is her personal story, having been diagnosed with two types of cancer at the age of 16: stage 4 Thyroid cancer and stage I Melanoma. Instead of letting this take her down, she redefined herse”

“War·ri·or (n): a brave or experienced soldier or fighter. Krigarè truly is a fighter, and is indeed a warrior. I had the honor of sitting down with Krigarè and talking about her music, as well as getting to know her. Krigarè is a force to be reckoned with. Her powerful vocals will draw you in from the very first note. “Heights” is the perfect perseverance anthem, as Krigarè let’s you know that she is fighting life’s journey in true warrior fashion. “Falling Apart” showcases Krigarè’s chilling vocals with powerful lyrics. Krigarè is the whole package; amazing vocals, cinematics, and a humble personality. Krigarè has the biggest heart and her smile can light up a room. This warrior has fought several battles in life, and she has been victorious. Her battles have led us to some very personal (and some relatable) songs, and we are honored that she has shared her story with us. If you are looking for a cinematic pop artist who is true to themselves, look no further.”
Nicole Juliette Hetlyn - Savvage Media

“‘Falling Apart’ is Kennedy’s first release as Krigarè. It is definitely a more grown up offering from this singer/songwriter. The emotion is high in this track, the tune pulls you in with an almost Celtic tone and the echoed vocals over the song adds to the eerie ambience. It is different to the tunes you would normally listen to, but that’s what you need now and again. Krigarè has stated that the narrative of her EP is about her inspiring story of surviving two bouts of cancer. The title ‘Falling Apart’ can be seen as she asks herself about her own mortality, describing some dark moments using the medium of music.I said it before, but I honestly think this girl deserves so much success. To see her stories inspire such breathtaking music is worth a few plays already. Does she let what has happened to her bring her down? No! She has fought through it all and has fought “to see the horizon” and has done that so well. Also, did you know her name means Warrior? Krigarè i”

"As Kennedy starting rolling out the new look, sound, image, I was concerned for her and her career. This is a ballsy move to totally recreate herself, but once she explained the meaning I completely fell in love with the idea. Kennedy is growing up and maturing as a person and an artist, and you can hear it in her new music which has floored me."
Bay Ragni - Totally Driven Entertainment & Radio

“Until 2 weeks ago, I had no idea who Kennedy Noel was. My co-host Nick suggested we try to get her as a guest on our show, and bang!!! We have her as a guest, and I sit and research for the interview and prepare, and I am completely blown away by the story of Kennedy, from starting at a young age, playing at the Grammy's as a child with Kelly Clarkson, to getting cancer, not once but twice in a 6 month span, and conquering all. Then to top it off, she is an incredibly talented, positive, and happy person with beautiful songs. Kennedy is the definition of Totally Driven, and is a name that will be on everyone's lips in the near future!!”
Bay Ragni - Totally Driven Entertainment & Radio

“For Kelly Clarkson's "Open Mic Night," Kennedy Nöel performed a mash-up of "All the Small Things" and "The Middle." Commanding the stage, it's as if the beautifully toned singer has been doing it all her life. With a backdrop similar to Clarkson's own, she noticeably has taken cues from watching Clarkson perform on tour. Having no stage freight, she engaged the crowd asking them to clap to make the night even more special for her. Doing so, she nabbed a burst of energy and Clarkson can be heard in the back, "whoooo!" Finishing the energetic performance, Clarkson returns to the stage to give her a high-five and is beaming that the little girl she's known since she was a child has all but grown up.”
Chase Hunt - AXS.com

“At the end of last year, we introduced you to Kennedy Noel, a teenage prodigy with her hands in several projects in order to help her musical career thrive. Well, over the last ten plus months, Kennedy has continued to put her incredible talent to work, keeping her eyes on the prize and ensuring she came out a winner. We recently caught back up with Kennedy, who you may all remember as a teenager far wiser than her years, and with her feet in the country music capital and her heart in rock ‘n’ roll. We are so excited to announce that our young and ever-so-driven Keepin’ It Country friend, Kennedy, will be releasing a video for her original rock song, Never Stop, tomorrow, October 15th. Not only did this uber talented musician write the song (which is an anthem for not allowing others’ negative words to keep you from accomplishing your goals), but she also wrote the treatment and had all the creative ideas for the video. Kennedy’s talents are truly limitless!”
Jennifer Swirsky - Keepin It Country

"This talented young star maybe from a musical background, but she's paving a road all her own. An 8th grader from Tennessee, this young artist is a bright and confident singer, actress, dancer and piano player. Her first performance was in front of millions at the 2006 Grammy's playing piano for the wonderful Kelly Clarkson. Her beautiful voice reaches out , spreading a message of hope and self confidence to all who hear her music. Her newest adventure Majors and Minors put her in the spotlight for the thousands ready to watch. Kennedy turned from a talented teenager into a superstar!
Cordelia Lauren - Dream Magazine

“12-year-old Kennedy Nöel, who recently reached the semifinals in Puckett's Rising Star songwriter competition, has signed with ASCAP. She is represented by McClanahan Management and her first EP, Summer's Here, just launched on iTunes.”
ASCAP - Music Row Magazine

“At 12 years old, Kennedy Noel already understands the concept of loving yourself just the way you are. In her new single "The Best Me" she describes it perfectly, "The best me is not trying to be you, the best me is when I'm who I am." I know I feel most comfortable in my skin when I'm not trying to live up to the pressures others put on me. I'm at my happiest when I am fully being ME, whether I'm singing loudly to my favorite song, writing in my journal on the beach or laughing with my family. Know what makes you feel comfortable in your skin and make sure you stay true to who you are! I want you to listen (or sing loudly) to Kennedy's lyrics and think about all the wonderful things that make you the BEST YOU!”
