On August 29, Kris Kolls officially introduced herself to the global pop stage with the release of “You Know.” The Russian-born, Istanbul-based artist blends years of training and performance into a debut that feels polished yet deeply personal.

The track is smooth and atmospheric, built on floating synths and a steady pulse, but it’s her vocals that command attention. Distinctive and magnetic, Kris Kolls delivers each line with precision, shifting easily between moments of intimacy and bursts of power. In the song, she captures the confidence of a love that doesn’t need outside validation, singing about being “ahead, outta line” and unbothered by what others think. That defiance, paired with warmth, gives the single its heartbeat.

Kolls also reveals the passion behind her process. When she repeats “I’ll be writin’ all night long”, it feels like a glimpse into her creative world, where music becomes a way of living. On Instagram, she described the single as a reflection of when “it’s not perfect, not normal… but it’s your kind of love.” That sentiment runs through the song, turning imperfections into strength and intimacy into something universal.

Her foundation is as layered as her music. She began performing at the age of four, studied classical piano, and later earned a degree in acting and directing from VGIK. These years of discipline and stage experience shaped her ability to bring both control and emotion to her artistry.

With “You Know,” Kris Kolls proves she is ready for an international audience. It’s not just a debut, but a confident statement from an artist who has found her sound—and is ready to share it with the world.
