    TBKS E165: The Kristi Lowe Episode

    This week we’re exploring Kristi Lowe’s debut album "a glimpse inside my mind," a project that feels raw, warm, and unfiltered in the best possible way. She digs into love, grief, healing, and self discovery with a kind of honesty that doesn’t try to impress you, it just tells the truth. The sound blends retro soul, pop, jazz, and RnB, but what stands out most is the emotional clarity. Some moments cut sharply, others feel tender and restorative, and together they offer a portrait of an artist finding her voice by refusing to hide. It’s a bold first statement from a new voice in SA’s pop space, and we’re breaking it all down Visit TBKS website · Follow TBKS on Facebook · Follow TBKS on Twitter · Follow TBKS on Instagram
