about

The opening synth waves of KiKi Holli’s new take on Roxy Music’s “More Than This” wash over listeners eardrums like baptismal seafoam at an oceanfront christening, purifying the sonic palate, washing souls clean—all to make way for her voice. Soon, it enters, in its rich fullness, beckoning to all the grieving souls who’ve lost a loved one, wrapping their broken hearts in its gauzy strength. If her delivery seems genuine—empathetic even—that’s because it is. She’s been there.

“I had a couple really important people pass in my life recently,” Holli says, “and one was pretty devastating. It leaves you baffled, in a way.”

At the height of her grief, Holli—the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, musician, actress and playwright—was soothing her soul listening to a whole lot of Roxy Music. She decided she really connected with and wanted to record her own version of Avalon’s hit single, Bryan Ferry’s “More Than This.”

Holli recorded with Grammy nominated producer Ethan Allen (Throwing Muses, Tricky, Ben Harper) at his studio in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood.

In addition to being a trained vocalist with a powerful, emotive presence and warm, resonant voice, Holli is a songwriter with a slew of new singles in the works.

Most notably, Holli also co-wrote and starred in Forever Dusty, a stage musical based on the life of Dusty Springfield. The production opened off-Broadway at New World Stages, garnering coverage from Reuters, The New York Times, Out Magazine…

lyrics

More Than This

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Ooh there's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?

No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing

More than this
No there's nothing
More than this
Nothing

More than this
More than this
Nothing
