In 2024, Kalen continued to expand his music, releasing three singles that solidified his reputation as creative songwriter. “On the Phone,” released in April, singing of a culture engrossed in dating apps and disconnected individuals. The June 2024 release, “Right There,” contemplates the transient nature of time and the human inclination to take the present for granted until it has passed. Following this, November 2024’s “Mindless” courageously delves into the complexities of mental illness.
Kalen is set to release two new singles in September and October 2025. The singles “Love is Out” and “Ratio: promise to further investigate the intricacies of human relationships. Coupled with his growing live presence, this prolific young songwriter is an emerging talent that is certainly worth watching out for.
