Kris Kolls is not just another name trying to carve space in the crowded pop arena. With her latest single “Little Game” already on streaming platforms, the Russian-born artist has positioned herself as one of the year’s most intriguing newcomers, bringing both theatrical flair and emotional honesty to the table. The track’s playful yet intimate energy feels like a statement of intent, setting the tone for the music she is preparing to release in the coming months.
Born in Yekaterinburg, Kris Kolls was raised in a family that quickly recognized her gift for music. By the age of four, she was already performing on stage and claiming prizes at vocal competitions. That early start pushed her into a world of classical piano studies and, later, into the demanding halls of VGIK, Russia’s renowned film and performing arts institute, in Moscow, where she earned her degree in acting and directing.
Her career path has always been more kaleidoscopic than linear. Kris Kolls spent years balancing roles as a solo performer, cabaret singer, director, and choreographer. One of her signatures became aerial vocals, a format that merges strength and artistry as she sings while suspended on trapezes or hoops. This fusion of movement and sound speaks to her lifelong desire to push performance beyond the predictable.
Now Kris Kolls has turned her focus toward crafting her own sound, one that blends soulful pop with cinematic atmosphere. Her influences stretch across decades of pop history: the playful magnetism of Britney Spears, the energy of Justin Timberlake, the intensity of Michael Jackson, and later, the moody depth of artists like Banks and Coldplay. These inspirations are easy to trace in her music, yet the final product is distinctly her own.
“Little Game” captures the tension and sweetness of real love in a way that feels both universal and deeply personal. Kris Kolls delivers the vocals with warmth and intimacy, shifting between teasing tones and vulnerable confession. It’s not a song about grand gestures, but about the everyday rhythm of relationships, the looks and moments that speak louder than explanations. And this is only the beginning. With her upcoming single “You Know” slated for release later this month, Kris Kolls seems ready to expand her sonic palette even further. The anticipation feels deserved, because everything in her story suggests she is building a career with both vision and longevity. Expect her next release very soon — and expect it to stay with you.
