An Intimate Preview of Her Upcoming EP Good Grief | Kaciny

Transforming pain into art is no easy feat, but indie singer-songwriter Kaciny has done just that with Sweet Innocence, her deeply emotional new single, now available on all major streaming platforms. Inspired by the bargaining stage of grief, the song serves as a preview of her upcoming EP, Good Grief, a five-track journey through the stages of loss and healing.

A Captivating Sound with Masterful Production

Co-produced alongside Evan Walley and featuring a stunning string arrangement by her father, Dernst Emile, Sweet Innocence blends heartfelt lyrics with rich, melodic instrumentation. Drawing inspiration from artists such as John Mayer, India.Arie, and Paramore, the song delicately balances warmth and melancholy, taking listeners on an introspective journey through longing, nostalgia, and the universal desire to reclaim what’s been lost.

Listeners have described Sweet Innocence as «deeply moving» and «emotional,» with one fan perfectly capturing its essence:

«It sounds like yearning for a past version of yourself, your life, and the people you loved who were there with you. As if, if you tried hard enough or held your breath just the right way, you could grab the seam of time and pull it back, and you’d be there again, and everything would be okay once more.»

Reflecting on the song, Kaciny shares:

«Sweet Innocence is about that delicate negotiation with reality—wishing things could go back to the way they were, replaying ‘what ifs,’ and holding onto the past just a little bit longer.»
