We also discuss the unique dynamic between Kenna and Ori, who balance both a romantic relationship and their musical partnership.Sweetmelk’s 2021 EPLiving Room marked a shift in style, moving from punk anthems to more slow, thoughtful tracks, and Kenna explains the inspiration behind that detour. Their latest albumPlay House, released in September 2024, is an emotional rollercoaster, with each song telling its own story. The band shares the creative process behind this album, diving into how they captured the raw emotions of their journey.As members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Kenna and Ori also reflect on the importance of offering a safe space for others and using their platform to empower marginalized voices.
