Kinney's new album will be released on April 9th.
Jullian Records and actress/singer-songwriter Emily Kinney (The Walking Dead, Showtime's Masters of Sex, ABC's Ten Days In The Valley) are excited to announce the Friday, April 9 release of Kinney's brand new full-length album titled The Supporting Character (pre-order). Staying busy this past year, Kinney took advantage of 2020's endless days of social distancing and time at home to finish up one of her most personal albums to date. Produced by Benjamin Greenspan, The Supporting Character touches on themes of heartbreak, loss, family history, creativity and personal growth, and finds Kinney tackling difficult subjects with her trademark lyrical honesty.
Released today and streaming with Entertainment Weekly, the album's new single, "Fifteen Minutes," is a love-turned-breakup song Kinney wrote for her boyfriend at the time that explains how she would easily trade the time she spent becoming successful for more time with the person she really loves (him). "He said he didn't get it. We broke up," she says. Though some relationships inevitably end, Kinney finds comfort in the fact that each relationship of hers has solidified her sense of independence and has confirmed the aspects of her romantic life that are truly important to her. "I've observed people who constantly struggle and who are addicted to ups and downs and conflict, whereas I know that I seek stability." Stream "Fifteen Minutes" over at Entertainment Weekly HERE and on YouTube HERE.While fans may still know her best from her TV and stage work, Emily Kinney's career as a musician has always run parallel to her career as an actress. When listening to her expansive discography, from early releases such as Blue Toothbrush to 2018's Oh Jonathan, Kinney's growth as a songwriter and artist is clearly evident. Her forthcoming album, The Supporting Character, continues in this vein, highlighting her maturity as a musician while also shining a light on the aspects of her life that she is still learning to navigate.
