Cranked Up Records Announces the Signing of Award-Winning Vocal Powerhouse Kim Kline
Holiday Single “Baby Please Come Home” Arrives Christmas 2025 With New Music in 2026
Cranked Up Records has officially announced the signing of Kim Kline, the Texas-born, Los Angeles crafted vocal powerhouse known for her emotional intensity, cinematic storytelling, and undeniable presence. With a career marked by critical acclaim, standout performances, and a reputation for authenticity, Kline joins Cranked Up Records at a moment of major artistic momentum and the partnership is already turning heads in the industry.
Widely celebrated as an “LA Top 40 Female Artist of the Year” and praised for her raw, organic vocal style, Kim Kline has built a career rooted in honesty and passion. Her breakout single “Stand Tall”, an anti-bullying anthem, positioned her as a voice with purpose, while tracks like “In Your Skin” showcased her ability to blend pop, rock, and R&B with emotional depth and flawless vocal control.
Now, she enters the newest chapter of her career with a label known for elevating dynamic, high-caliber artists.
“Kim Kline is an artist who stops you cold,” said Curtis McKinney, founder of Cranked Up Records. “Her voice, her passion, her intensity; she brings it all. Kim has that rare blend of grit, elegance, and authenticity. We’re honored to welcome her to Cranked Up Records, and we’re ready to push her to the level her talent deserves.”
Kim Kline’s first release under Cranked Up Records will be her emotionally charged performance of “Baby Please Come Home,” arriving Christmas 2025. Paired with the single is a visually rich, heartfelt music video that captures the true essence of Christmas; nostalgia, warmth, and the magic of the season, set to play in homes around the world throughout the holidays.
The video was shot on a freezing winter night in Lubbock, Texas, with South Town Productions. Adam Garcia (director and executive producer) required grit and dedication from everyone involved.
“We shot the ‘Baby Please Come Home’ video in Lubbock, Texas and it was cold, like 26 degrees cold, and Kim was in a red dress,” Curtis said. “I know she was freezing, because I was; but she never showed it. While myself and some of the crew had to warm up, she stayed out there with Adam and never wavered. That’s work ethic and dedication. That’s Kim.”
Kim echoes the memory with a laugh.
“It was freezing!!!” she said. “But we had a vision for the video and we wasn’t going to let the cold weather stop us. This video is a throwback to an era before things turned so commercial. It taps into something special, and I think Adam captured it perfectly.”
Beyond her holiday release, Kim Kline is already in the studio crafting an entire slate of original music set to roll out throughout 2026. The upcoming tracks will showcase a bold, elevated sound, bigger production, deeper personal storytelling, and a sonic identity ready for national spotlight.
“This next chapter is the most honest and powerful music I’ve ever created,” Kim said. “Cranked Up Records understands my vision, and we’re building something special together.”
With a Christmas release destined to become a holiday staple, a stunning new music video and a deep bench of new songs on the way, Kim Kline’s signing marks a transformational moment for both the artist and Cranked Up Records.
“Kim Kline is more than a singer; she’s a storyteller, a fighter, and a voice with purpose. And now, the world is about to hear her louder than ever.” – Curtis McKinney
