Introducing Breez Kennedy | ‘Love Crazy (Blowing Up Your Phone)’

Following major A-list co-signs from the likes of Lil Baby, Brent Faiyaz and millions of views on social media, 17-year-old singer/songwriter, and R&B upstart Breez Kennedy officially introduces himself with his anxiously awaited debut single “Love Crazy (Blowing Up Your Phone),” available today via Standard Records/Def Jam.

The track’s silky guitar line echoes through a hazy soundscape. Meanwhile, his inimitable vocals melt into the beat, highlighting expansive range punctuated by a hypnotic high register. As the hook resounds, he reluctantly pleads, “Tell me that you love me, but I’m knowing that you don’t.”

He initially teased the track on TikTok with a series of viral posts. Prior to an official release, he caught the attention of not only Lil Baby (who vibed to just a clip on Instagram!), but also Swae Lee, Rod Wave, Toosii, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and more.

Right from the jump, he affirmed himself as a self-sufficient phenomenon by writing, recording, and producing the bulk of his music by himself. He has quietly buzzed out of St. Petersburg, FL with a signature style, balancing Bryson Tiller‘s adventurousness with pop magnetism a la Justin Bieber.

Now, he’s preparing more music for release this summer!

With a lithely powerful tenor and rare emotional courage, Breez Kennedy was born to be a loverboy. Pairing supple melodies with unfiltered memories of wounded relationships, he distills a reservoir of sensations through wide-eyed love songs—anthems for dreamers who aren’t afraid to get lost in their feelings.

Growing up between New Jersey and Florida, he quickly became a musical force of his own making. He was taken early on with the stylings of Chris Brown, wanting to emulate the crooner’s famous runs in his own songs. Breez would repeat those songs so much that his older brother nicknamed him Lil Breez—and the name stuck as his own talent began to crystallize. He’d won local competitions, and his solo offerings began getting attention. He originally signed to Standard Records at 15 years old and then beginning in 2020, self-recorded songs quickly accumulated thousands of streams after being uploaded online. Using TikTok, Breez also began previewing song snippets as viewers became familiar with his evolving sound.

The spark was apparent, he was signed to Def Jam before he released any music because of the impact his previews made on social media. He’s positioned himself to make sure his come-up is a continual one.
