His debut EP, &#8216;Hopeless Romantic&#8217;, tells the story of falling in love, but having, due to circumstances, to let each other go.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Taking the course of a year to write, &#8216;Hopeless Romantic&#8217; additionally examines the themes of self-growth and realisation, as well as love. Kenneally taught himself to play all the instruments on the EP, and with the exception of &#8216;Come Back Angel&#8217;, which features a full live band, he wrote, performed, and produced all the songs on the record. His passion and ambition work well together with his gift for storytelling through his lyrics and gentle and considerate arrangements, which show the influence of fellow contemporary artists such as Harry Styles, and Shawn Mendes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Hopeless Romantic&#8217; is available to stream and download from all major platforms.
