Rising underground star Kringe blew up in 2020, thanks to the release of his debut album,
Don t Think Too Much, and his TikTok account. The young man from Houston struck a chord on the popular social media platform by taking fans through his unexpected journey from irrelevance to fame. But itâs not all memes for the multi-talented artist/instrumentalist. Kringe is a genuine talent with a singular sound and a devoted fan base.
Last month, he released his sophomore album,
Three Sides of the Worst of Me, a moody, at times ghostly, exploration of personal struggle that combines acoustic strings with lo-fi hip-hop beats. The album seems to further develop Kringeâs unique brand of alt hip hop with its lead single âWhoâs to Say,â which is helmed by a bittersweet guitar melody. As for those devoted fans? Kringe flew one down from Maine earlier this year to star in the track s music video.
