Chicago-born Kingsley recently relocated to Portland, and she brought her sumptuous, soulful music with her. There’s a little bit of everything in Kingsley’s repertoire: sexy R&B on tracks like “Vibe,” defiant pop on “You Didn’t,” and introspective songwriting on “I Am Because I Am,” which is also the title of her 2018 EP—a mission statement, perhaps, or a promise. Kingsley’s performance at Rontoms is part of the venue’s Sunday Sessions series, and that’s fitting, as her music is an ideal soundtrack for long, lazy weekend afternoons. by Blair Stenvick
