“’Two Arms’ is about those that shape us and the inevitable hole they would leave us with. It’s memoir-like and coated with dance rhythms and power vocals that almost makes you forget you’re listening to a song about anticipatory grief.” -Adalia Powell-Boehne / KNOTTS
KNOTTS loops in and out of art pop and indie soul. The band’s members consist of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Adalia Powell-Boehne, Keyboardist Antoine Franklin, guitarist Jordan Wilson and drummer Isaiah Cook. Adalia possesses a truly one-of-a-kind plaintive voice, her songs are grounded with a strong sense of someone searching for her place in the world, that might sound like faint praise but in a world full of show off vocal hysterics KNOTTS’ songs feel intimate and real. The band has just released “Two Arms,” listen to it HERE
The Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best New Artist has been given to KNOTTS, they’ve released music on Soul Step Record Label, and opened for artists such as Thundercat, Post Animal and Lucius. The band is set to release their sophomore album Ribbon Dancer in 2023 followed by a US tour.
Songwriter for KNOTTS Adalia Powell-Boehne started writing songs on the playground about a gym teacher she disliked. Her mom is white and her dad is black, giving her unsolved mystery level racial ambiguity. When she’s not driving her kids around she can be found working on songs, performing with KNOTTS or writing. The band was formed over a love of music and performing. The connection and togetherness of the group is contagious and electric.
