Breakout artist KennyHoopla’s new song “Sore Loser//” premieres as Zane Lowe’s “World First” on Beats 1 while the video for the track debuts on FLOOD Magazine. 

The new music follows the release of “Lost Cause,” which received critical praise—Pigeons & Planes featured him among their “Best New Artists of the Month” in July proclaiming, “His most recent few songs are his best yet, and the evolving sound is starting to lay the foundation for a genre-agnostic artist with ambitions beyond following the latest trends,” while Ones To Watch added, “KennyHoopla is a perfectly indescribable enigma that we simply cannot get enough of.” Both songs will appear on his debut EP due early 2020.

Additionally, KennyHoopla has confirmed a performance at Pigeons & Planes’ “No Ceilings” showcase at Chelsea Music Hall in New York City on September 26.
