DMed’s Video of the Week: Kenna, “Say Goodbye to Love”

Universal are big stinky monkeys for disabling the embed on this one, so I’ll just have to link to it like a sucker.

Kenna – Say Goodbye to Love

Fewer artists have been kicked around like Kenna has. It’s taken him seven years to release two albums. His first album, New Sacred Cow, hopped labels three times before it was finally released, and once it hit the public…that label completely buried it. Bastards. (That would be Sony, if you were curious) This is made all the more astounding when you take into consideration that Kenna went to high school with the freaking Neptunes, who produced both of his albums. How can you not sell that? Don’t know, but Sony found a way.

Now free from Sony and starting a new life on Interscope, Kenna’s new single doesn’t have a video as memorable as “Freetime,” but at this point, I’m just happy that he’s making music at all.
