Kenzie Cait – good luck, goodbye

Review

'good luck, goodbye' feels like reading someone's secret diary left open on a rainy afternoon—Kenzie Cait has crafted something that whispers rather than shouts, yet somehow echoes louder for it. The six tracks unfold like delicate paper cranes, each fold revealing another layer of her innermost thoughts. In just 17 minutes (the perfect length for a good cry or a contemplative walk), she manages to bottle that peculiar ache of letting go, with 'thank god' standing as a beautiful testament to finding relief in endings. Her voice dances lightly across these minimalist landscapes, never needing elaborate production to make her point.

What makes this EP so enchanting is how Kenzie transforms everyday heartache into something that feels both universal and uniquely hers. The stripped-back arrangements serve as the perfect canvas for her honest brushstrokes—no distractions, just pure emotional truth that hits like that first sip of hot tea on a cold morning. There's a lovely restraint throughout 'good luck, goodbye' that shows tremendous artistic confidence; she knows exactly when to pull back and when to let the silence speak. Each song feels like a different room in the same cozy house, connected by the common thread of bittersweet growth and the quiet courage it takes to close doors forever. - Kinslie
