Kami Kehoe's "HEARTLESS" Explores Love on the Edge of Fallout

Alt-rock star on the rise, Kami Kehoe, today ushers in a darker, razor-sharp chapter with her new single, "HEARTLESS", via Atlantic Records. Where past releases traced the full arc of heartbreak and healing, "HEARTLESS" sees Kami flip the script into a love song told from the edge of a potential fallout.
Writing from the perspective of someone who has been burned enough times to go numb, Kami zeroes in on the person who finally makes detachment impossible. Leaning into the reality of choosing to fully love one person meaning that she may have nothing left if they go, Kami reframes the word "heartless" as a consequence of her devotion, rather than indifference.
Coming off the back of her latest single, "FADE OUT,", a cover of "SEX ON FIRE", and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre's most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora's Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM's Octane, Kami steps into the new year with a ballad that's softer in tempo yet even higher in emotional stakes.
As she opens 2026 with the vulnerable, all-in love story of "HEARTLESS", Kami Kehoe wears her heart on her sleeve:
"HEARTLESS is about having one heart and putting it on the line, but wrestling with the idea of finding your person and knowing that if they leave, they take everything you had with them. Seeing people connect with my music everyday has made me a lot less scared of being this honest, because that kind of truth is exactly what makes music worth making for me."
Kami's growing profile extends beyond the music itself, with a feature in the winter issue of Revolver, spotlighting her rise at the intersection of heavy, alt, and modern rock. As she continues to build on the viral success of tracks like, "DOPAMINE" and "SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD", Kami's "HEARTLESS" now steps in as a stripped-back, emotionally loaded marker of where she's headed next.

On stage, Kami's 2026 is already packed with high moments, including a performance supporting Godsmack as a part of WMMR's MMRBQ and her set at Rock Fest (WI), placing her alongside some of rock's most established names.
