"Rich expansive timbres ... dripping with soul."
- Medium
"Rich, smokey vocals that ooze with confidence and soul ... Hafner shows off her dynamic vocals and pulls the listener into her orbit, and her voice feels like it could take the world by storm."
- Glide Magazine
Sultry smoke and white-hot fire escape the lips of Austin singer/songwriter Kelly Hafner on her debut release, If it’s Love. It’s an ambitious work for an independent artist releasing her first full-length album.
The Berklee College of Music graduate steps to the front of seven and eight-piece ensembles that include drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, horns, and strings on funky soul head-bobbers like “Things Are Changin,” “Lifted,” and “On My Mind.” She explores deep vintage vocal-driven tracks on tunes like “If It’s Love” and reggae influences in “Give Light.” Songs like “Summergirl” and “Angel” even wind their way into R&B/minimalism.
It’s all wrapped in the warm bow of Hafner’s show-stopping voice and unmistakably improvisational style, which promise to keep listeners hooked from start to finish. Echoing the traditions of her soul forebears like Etta James, Lauryn Hill, Marvin Gaye, and Amy Winehouse, If it’s Love tests the boundaries of neo-soul in a refreshing way.
