Kiki Kramer, the rising star signed to Suretone Records, is back with a new track, Shot in the Dark, a shimmering pop anthem available now on all platforms. This mid-tempo ballad is a confessional of heartbreak and self-awareness, exploring the vulnerability of becoming someone’s rebound with a blend of playful charm and quiet melancholy.
The song’s lyrics reflect Kiki’s signature wit and emotional honesty, with lines like “Nothing lasts forever / Let’s give it a shot in the dark” showing both a sense of resignation and hope. Kiki’s voice, both relatable and raw, invites listeners to embrace emotional sacrifice as part of the human experience.
The official video, directed by Marc Klasfeld – famed for his collaborations with Olivia Rodrigo, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Red Hot Chili Peppers – brings Kiki’s world to life. The visuals capture the neon-lit energy of New York’s nightlife, reflecting the song’s mix of irony, intimacy, and chaos.
Kiki Kramer has built a grassroots following from the ground up, selling out her debut club shows in New York and LA. Her TikTok fanbase has grown to over 45,000 in just a few months, and Shot in the Dark marks a new chapter in her sound. Drawing on influences from Lana Del Rey, Chappell Roan, and No Doubt, Kiki blends hyper-pop with indie intimacy, showcasing her growing musical range.
Originally from Northern California, Kiki’s music is infused with the energy of New York nightlife. After the loss of her mother, she immersed herself in the city’s underground scene, first as a promoter, then as a performer. Her blend of grief and glitter caught the attention of industry veteran Jordan Schur, who signed her to Suretone Records.
With a debut LP slated for next summer and new singles in the works through 2026, Kiki Kramer is setting the stage for a long career, offering a fresh, self-aware perspective on love, loss, and living in the digital age.
