Today, Canadian singer-songwriter and rising pop artist, Christina Kennedy, announces the release of her intimate new single, “QUIT MY LIFE.” The track is a deeply cathartic and rich ballad that captures the internal chaos of wanting to disappear while longing to be understood. Sonically inspired by the push-and-pull production of NF and Julia Michaels’ “GONE,” the song balances an interchangeable bass hit with soft, atmospheric ballad elements, expressing the raw desire to escape a life that feels too heavy to bear. The intimate vocals cut through, creating an almost cinematic emotional release.
“I wrote this in a dark time, and for anyone out there who feels even remotely similar,” Christina added, “I hope this helps them through that cloudy time.”
A stunning, high-concept visual experience will follow with the premiere of the “QUIT MY LIFE” music video and short film on October 25th. Conceptualized and directed by Christina herself, the film boldly reimagines 1930s Hollywood through a 2025 lens, capturing a visual fusion between the elegant, wealthy class and today’s hyper-digital world. The music video is a powerful meta-commentary: the medium is the message. The narrative explores the growing disconnection between humanity and media, examining desensitization, the erosion of compassion, and the masks people wear in modern society, challenging the audience to reflect on the core question: “What you watch matters.” The visual palette draws on chiaroscuro lighting and surreal contemporary imagery—early Hollywood’s elegance colliding with the fast-paced emptiness of influencer culture.
In reference to her music video, Christina shared, “your next scroll matters, your watch retention matters, what you say matters, how you engage matters, what you watch matters, someone’s life matters.”
Kennedy’s previous releases have garnered notable attention, including coverage in Billboard Canada for her recent album releases and features in publications like The Partae and The Eyeopener for her Toronto concert debut. Her work continues to build a distinct lane in the pop landscape.
