The Tipping Scale by Kinlaw
Kinlaw's debut album The Tipping Scale is here! The Tipping Scale is an ideal metaphor for the record, the idea of an ever-present slipping in and out of change, and an acceptance of this kind of change.

As you listen to their songs and decode their words, you realize she’s not just building songs, she’s also creating a home—where painful thoughts of the past can exist within the present—as well Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.
