LOTL The Zone Welcomes KEA (Kea Michaels) Releases new single “Not My Friend,”

Friend,” Paints Strong Portrait of a Woman Choosing Herself Over an Unworthy Man 

(June 3, 2019 - Pittsburgh, PA) – Singer/Songwriter KEA (Kea Michaels) is swiftly proving herself as an outstanding and soul-piercing new artist with her June 21-slated second single, “Not My Friend,” the follow-up to her poignant debut “I Love You” which peaked at #1 on four U.K. Soul charts, was picked up by the BBC, received support from several U.S. Smooth Jazz outlets and was chosen as ‘Song of the Month’ by influential music site SoulTracks. As the follow-up, “Not My Friend” is so strong that it was added “out of the box” to the programming playlist of WFSK in the music hotbed city of Nashville. The radio promoter only sent it to get valuable feedback. The station started playing the song immediately!

“Not My Friend,” also the second single from her forthcoming EP Relationships, is a smooth, engaging groove wit ha pretty melody about a woman making the decision to disconnect from a relationship that is not healthy for her. Interestingly, the song is NOT about hardcore clichés such as sexual infidelity or physical abuse. This song addresses a man who was verbally and emotionally abusive, controlling, non-communicative and self-centered…over a long period of time. Targeted to women that stay in relationships longer than they know they should, it depicts a woman who once felt she had no voice now making the affirmative move to leave this man and that toxic ‘so-called relationship’ in the rear window.
