About “AMERICA”
“AMERICA” is a cinematic piano protest anthem driven by high-powered, rhythmic drums and Kiefer’s commanding vocals. Inspired by the political and social upheaval in the United States, the song addresses the artist’s shattered illusion of the perfect American dream amidst the rising tensions in the country. Sorina wrote “AMERICA” to show solidarity with the U.S. and express her grief in the face of the nation’s turmoil. The track’s powerful arrangement is matched by lyrics that hit hard- confronting the all too real consequences of a country losing its way. Through “America,” Sorina channels pain and frustration into a work of art compelling listeners to reflect on where the country is headed. It’s a timely message that speaks to the soul of a nation grappling with division.
