Lesbian pop artist Keeana Kee returns with her new single and cinematic music video “Ex’s Funeral,” featuring supermodel Valery Kaufman. Bold, rebellious, and emotionally charged, the track transforms heartbreak into a moment of freedom driven by female friendship and the decision to finally choose yourself. Keeana shares, “It’s about that shift when pain stops holding you back and starts pushing you forward.”
With sharp, unapologetic lyrics like “fake tears at your ex’s funeral,” the song captures the shift from pain to power where letting go becomes an act of confidence. It’s not about heartbreak. It’s about what comes after. Rooted in what Keeana calls Exotic Pop, and produced by Sergio De Anda, the track features a subtle Santana-inspired guitar core and leans into cinematic storytelling and emotionally driven pop, creating a sound that feels intimate, powerful, and emotionally immersive.
In the music video filmed by Yaro and featuring looks from the edgy Y2K-rooted brand Von Dutch, Keeana Kee and Valery Kaufman step into a western-inspired world where the end of a relationship turns into escape. Moving with quiet confidence, the two leave the past behind and drive towards freedom: a new chapter defined by loyalty, rebellion, and possibility.
What unfolds is less about mourning and more about movement: a visual journey where vulnerability transforms into something bold, magnetic, and fearless. Set against a stylized backdrop partly influenced by the work of Quentin Tarantino, the project blends raw emotion with a cool, effortless edge.
The concept leans into irony, but the only joke is thinking you would ever go back. Through “Ex’s Funeral,” Keeana and Valery embody a modern vision of empowerment and embrace the courage to move forward with no regrets.
