Cynáa-Nicole [2023] - MY LIFE [Self Released] (Full Album)

Kenadi Cynáa-Nicole Moorman is from Manassas Park, North Virginia and has had some recent airplay with her last single "Something They Ain't Got". Her Instagram and website state that she is only 15 yrs old. We don't know when they were last updated but mention her last single so it must be current but her voice sounds far more mature than that.

She debuted exactly a year ago on 24 Jun with a single, coincidentally(?) titled "My Life" which is the title she has given her debut album released today.

In the last year she has released no fewer than 17 singles and you would think that they would all be on her album, but no, only a few of them are so she has a batch of new material for the album which she co-wrote with her brother Buto who also features on most of them.

The song that immediately jumped out for us was "What's Luv?" but the whole album is sprinkled with good songs (e.g. "Gifted", "Love & Devotion (Part. 2)", "Room To Grow", "Heart of a Feather" and "My Life").

This 'gifted' young lady is certainly one to watch.
