Kris Kolls Has a New Single on the Way: “I Want More”
Posted On
Kris Kolls has a new single coming. “I Want More” drops April 30, and if her recent output is any indicator of what to expect, the release is worth paying attention to.
The announcement comes off the back of a run of singles that have steadily defined her artistic identity. “Too Late” introduced the darker R&B edges of her sound. “Get Out” pushed further into psychological territory — a song, as Kris Kolls described it in a recent interview, built entirely on lived experience: “This entire song is built on moments I’ve personally lived through. There was a period in my life when I was truly in that state — and it lasted for quite a long time.” “I Want More” arrives as the next step in that progression, though the emotional register has shifted considerably.
Where earlier releases sat in tension and paralysis, this one operates from a place of resolution. The production moves into cinematic electropop — pulsing, chorus-driven, and built for movement. Asked to name the physical space the song lives in, Kris Kolls was direct: nightclubs, and convertibles slowly driving down Ocean Drive. Energy, momentum, and a strong sense of direction.
The origin of the track is worth noting. She told during the same interview that “I Want More” came together almost immediately after returning from a trip to Japan, in a state of what she described as “pure inspiration” — an energy that lingered after attending a Lady Gaga show. “The song came almost instantly, without doubt, with a very clear sense that it was already fully formed inside me.”
Thematically, she framed the entire single around two words: self-love. “Self-love gives you almost everything — strength, direction, relationships, health, success. It’s the starting point.” That framing separates “I Want More” from the straightforward demand its title might suggest. The clarity here isn’t aggression — it’s grounding.
Kris Kolls has been consistent about one thing across her catalogue: genre is a byproduct, not a strategy. “It’s not a strategy. It’s honesty. And that’s what connects everything I do.” That through-line — from the psychological weight of “Get Out” to the electropop momentum of “I Want More” — is exactly what makes this release another coherent move.
“I Want More” drops April 30. Pre-save the single now.
