MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Momentum continues to build for Keni Titus, who returns with hands to myself, a quietly magnetic alt-pop track that leans into curiosity, temptation, and the soft ache of wondering what else might be out there. Released via ADA, the song arrives alongside a new music video and marks the third release from her upcoming debut album AngelPink, due February 6, 2026.

Co-written with Will Taylor of Hovvdy, “hands to myself” thrives in restraint. It doesn’t rush the moment—instead, it lingers in the in-between space where longing, self-control, and imagination overlap. Sonically subtle and emotionally precise, the track reflects the album’s broader theme of duality: staying grounded while quietly questioning what you may have taken for granted.

Keni describes AngelPink as a process of losing herself and finding her way back—not to another person, but inward. Written in the aftermath of a breakup and a close friendship ending, the album documents isolation, healing, and rediscovering joy in creation. “Making art is supposed to be fun,” she says. “Not perfect—but fun.” That philosophy runs through “hands to myself,” which feels honest, unguarded, and gently self-aware.

Lyrically, the song circles the familiar “grass is greener” pull, capturing discovery and longing without judgment. It’s reflective rather than dramatic, letting small observations do the emotional work. That intimacy makes it a natural fit for Spotify playlists that favor nuance and atmosphere, including New Music Friday, Indie Pop, Alt Pop, Bedroom Pop, Sad Girl Starter Pack, Chill Pop, and late-night discovery playlists driven by introspective storytelling.

The release comes as Keni prepares to headline sold-out shows in Los Angeles and Brooklyn, signaling a clear step forward as she approaches her debut album era. With “hands to myself,” Keni Titus continues to shape AngelPink into a diary of becoming—documenting who we were, who we’re shedding, and who we’re learning to hold a little more gently.
