Kenzy Peach is a young and self-proclaimed ‘pop-rock freak’ from Portland, Oregon. Her career has only just started. She only released her debut single Come For Me on 5 January, a great way to kick off 2024. It was praised by Guitar World as ‘a delightfully spunky bit of pop’ with ‘massive hooks’. No pressure… 😉

Peach describes her work as a beacon for ‘big-hearted weirdos and unsettling women’. Her new single I Think I Get It Now is no exception. Even in the light of the early praise, it doesn’t disappoint. On the contrary, it raises the bar even further. An anthem of empowerment, I Think I Get It Now explores the disillusionment of recognizing a toxic relationship for what it truly is. Its lyrics deal with confrontation and moving beyond hurt, with the music tapping into the anger and emotional intensity of the words. The track echoes influences from No Doubt, Garbage and Metric.

I Think I Get it Now was recorded at Portland’s Jackpot Studios and produced by Zach Bloomstein with her live band (Joe O’Connor, Nicholas Boatright and K Cashion). Together, they managed to capture the raw energy that defines her sound. Punchy and energetic, it’s the soundtrack to all of your revenge fantasies.

I Think I Get It Now by Kenzy Peach is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
