Bursting onto the scene in emphatic fashion, classically trained Kirstin fuses soulful tones, with blues and elements of jazz to create her sound. I’d have waited(eternity for love) is the debut single from her afrobeats album named ‘Spirit Guide’.
‘Raw, Real and Truth’; Kirstin writes by alchemising pain into light. “I’d have waited eternity for love” is a classy breakup song. Lyrically it’s a heartbreak anthem reminiscent of the Motown Era; even though the story is tragic, the beats, the shiny upbeat vocals can heal your pain. There’s no appreciation of light without dark.” – Kirstin Knight
