Known for her silky high tones and soulful R&B sound, Hawaii-born singer-songwriter Kaylenn returns with an acoustic version of her second single, “Selfish”.
Stripping away the layers of production from the original October release, this new version reveals a raw, intimate side of the rising artist — one that feels like a late-night conversation set to music.
Filmed in a cozy furniture store in her hometown of Hawaii, the accompanying performance video radiates warmth and authenticity. With local producer Aniki on guitar, Kaylenn delivers a stripped-down performance that feels personal, almost like you’re right there in the room with her.
“This version shows more of my true self – my softness, my strength, and everything in between,” says Kaylenn.
The acoustic rendition highlights the emotional honesty that first drew attention to her viral cover of Aaliyah’s “At Your Best (You Are Love)”. Her distinct blend of silky and husky tones once again shines through, amplifying every word and every feeling behind it.
After debuting with the Afrobeat-infused “MAKE YOU”, Kaylenn now leans into simplicity, proving that her voice alone can tell an entire story and reaffirming her place as one of R&B’s most refreshingly genuine new voices.
