Keni Titus - Adams & Costello
Los Angeles pop artist Keni Titus shares her latest single “if u want”, along with a heavenly music video directed by Keni and her best friend, Victoria. Returning with her first song of the year, since her track “Come Back” in 2022, Keni has spent the last year writing a lot of new music, using songwriting primarily as a way to reflect on her experiences and relationships to date, and “if u want” is a product of that process.
The track is beautifully delicate and melodic, touching on intimate themes of companionship and desire. In her heartfelt lyricism, Keni expresses a desire to be all that someone needs her to be, in whatever shape or form that may take. Despite not having met that person yet, she can envision it in all its loving togetherness.
Keni passionately sings, “If u want I could fit right in the gaps of your teeth. If u want cover my mouth so there’s more air to breathe” “If u want” is the first single to be taken from her upcoming debut project, which is expected to come out later this year, along with more singles on the way preceding the project’s release. All in all, this track signifies the start of a new era in her career, with many exciting things to come from this artist on the rise.
The DIY style music video accompanying the single, shows Keni fully immersed in nature, surrounded by a flowing body of water and glimmering in the sunlight. It has a blissful, glowing energy about it, which perfectly compliments the track.

Adams & Costello are excited to share their second single, “Worry About You” from forthcoming LP, One By One. The track showcases relevant social issues that run rampant throughout the world, and the bitter numbness society has accepted in response.
“Worry About You” describes the cycle of life, one’s experience with humanity and desire to make the world a better place. At the center of the track we see Michael Costello’s sincere songwriting and empathy for mankind among the inevitable transitions we face. Themes of love, loss, and humanity are demonstrated, allowing the track to become an ode to strengthening human nature.
When discussing the songwriting inspiration for “Worry About You”, Michael Costello writes: “This song came to me after going through some deep personal loss. It’s about life’s experiences, getting older, having to care for the people who cared for you, caring for our loved ones, and having empathy for the loved ones of others...maybe strangers to me, but our fellow mankind. It was written fairly quickly and then I brought it to Julie and we evolved it together”
On “Worry About You”, Michael Costello’s guttural vocals draw comparisons to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen. Along with his impeccable guitar strumming, the track makes for an atmospheric listening experience. To balance Costello’s husky tone, Julie Adams’s airy background vocals add a refreshing vibe to the mix.
In the video, one half of the duo Michael Costello is seen strumming his guitar around various parts of the American landscape. In the span of four minutes, we see a world affected by homelessness, gun violence, and climate change, amongst other cultural issues.
