HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: KIKI
Singer-songwriter KiKi – known online as Kikiwritings – has been described by the media as a “witch of intimate stories”, while her music has been dubbed “magical folk-pop”.
In autumn 2024, KiKi released her debut album KRiKi (extended), featuring sixteen original songs in Slovenian, somewhere between pop and folk. Since then, she has performed at festivals including MENT Ljubljana, Folkest (IT), Waves Vienna (AT), BUSH Festival (HU) and Druga Godba. You may also have seen her at the EMA 2025 Eurovision national selection, where she performed her song O-ou!.
At her concerts, you might find yourself dancing along to upbeat rhythms or shedding a tear during one of her ballads, but in either case, KiKi’s voice will take you into her own fairytale world. Together with the beautiful harmonies of her backing vocalists and somewhat unusual, at times dark lyrics, KiKi weaves stories on stage that draw the listener in close and sound almost like whispered secrets.
Live, the singer-songwriter performs with a band consisting of keyboardist Matevž Košutnik, guitarist Jan Kopač, bassist Ingrid Laventure, drummer Martin Jocif and vocalist Gala Pregel.
With her latest song Povej, available on her YouTube channel, KiKi is already teasing her second album, Pravljice.
“KiKi’s debut KRiKi is a gentle, intelligent and, for that very reason, outstanding album. It shows that it is only by taking life apart into its individual wheels and gears that we can most clearly reveal its complexity. The artist’s unique vision has translated into an exceptionally pleasant listening experience that leaves you with the precious feeling that you understand and are understood. So let us not be stingy with our words and say it plainly: we have a serious contender for domestic album of the year before us. The future, it seems, does indeed have variations, and Kiki has just set off down one of the best.”
– Marko Miočić, Radio Študent 2023
“KiKi is undoubtedly one of the most intoxicating musical discoveries on the Slovenian music scene in recent years. Her intimate confessions and relationship with her surroundings gain another dimension through her highly functional, yet far from conventional vocal interpretation. This is true in audiovisual form, and even more so live, where her powerful stage presence and gentle voice effortlessly draw the audience into her world of imagination. And it resonates from the heart.”
