Just weeks after releasing the emotionally charged single “Inside,” Kris Kolls is already pivoting into a brighter, sharper space. The singer-songwriter has announced her next release, “Baby, You Are Not Delicious,” arriving February 20 — a track that signals evolution.
The new track trades melancholy for metaphor, transforming romantic incompatibility into something almost tactile. Built on pulsing dance beats and slick electropop textures, the single reframes failed chemistry as a matter of taste. Not tragic. Not dramatic. Just… not flavorful enough. Lines that compare mismatched love to overly sweet cake or too-bitter chocolate shift the conversation from heartbreak to discernment.
“It’s not about heartbreak. It’s about clarity. Sometimes you taste something twice and still know — it’s not yours,” Kolls shares in the official announcement, positioning the song less as revenge and more as revelation. Rather than mourning what didn’t work, she examines it calmly, almost mischievously, and moves on.
The accompanying visual sees Kris Kolls embracing transformation as performance art. She opens in a playful persona — short black hair with bangs, a pink mini dress, long grey boots — before morphing into a more commanding figure in red, complete with flowing blonde hair. The aesthetic evolution mirrors a woman rewriting her own script.
That theatrical instinct is no accident. Classically trained in piano, and a graduate with studies in acting and filmmaking, Kris Kolls approaches pop as a fully cinematic medium. Her performances have long blurred the lines between music and stagecraft, sometimes incorporating aerial elements and strong visual storytelling. Each release feels less like a standalone single and more like a chapter in a larger creative arc.
With “Baby, You Are Not Delicious,” Kris Kolls leans further into contemporary pop territory while maintaining her conceptual edge.
