Juno-winner Kinnie Starr has released 'I'm Ready'; an empowered, reflective pop track that channels the hope and power that comes from making difficult decisions that allow one to move forward. The lyrical hook is as simple and effective as the production that drives the song into a toe-tapping summer jam with the stirring refrain '...I'm ready to walk away, I'm ready, yeah it's a good day...' Producer, Doug Romanow, leaves space for Kinnie's airy vocal flow to fully inhabit each verse then unleashes flickering synths and an irresistible toe-tapping beat to create a truly uplifting chorus. The addition of a gritty verse from Canadian rapper Spek brings a dynamic twist to the track and a fresh perspective on challenges that need to be left behind.
