Kimberly Haynes Releases Into The Light, a Cinematic Musical Journey Through Love, Loss, and Renewal

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 22, 2026 - Kimberly Haynes, an acclaimed singer, songwriter and musical artist whose work has been associated with New Age and world music, releases her new genre-crossing vocal album, Into The Light, a cinematic and orchestral, cohesive collection of songs. It's a journey of love through 8 gorgeous tracks. Seven years in the making, the deeply personal and poignant album transforms profound loss into a universal story of devotion, release, and the courage to keep living.

Born from some of the most profound years of Haynes' life, Into The Light is an intimate exploration of anticipatory grief, devotion, loss, transcendence, and the extraordinary process of learning to live again when the life you knew has changed forever.

However, Haynes says, "This is not a grief record. It is a record of what happens when you learn to carry grief - and life requires you to keep moving forward."

At the heart of Into The Light is Haynes' late husband, Brian. His presence is woven into the album in a way that is both deeply personal and profoundly moving. As well, his voice appears on the recording, on track 3, "I Am My Prayer," and the opening lines of the title track were born during his final days.

Rather than documenting grief in a linear or conventional way, Haynes creates a musical "cycle" that moves through the many dimensions of profound loss - from peace and surrender, through fear and devotion, to the intimate experience of caring for someone through illness and at the end of life, to the moment of letting go, and to the quiet, profound realization that life continues. Love does not disappear with death.

The album ultimately goes well beyond personal experience into something universal: What it means to grieve, to release, and to find the strength to remain open to life and most importantly, love.

Cinematic in scope, the album brings together an extraordinary range of musical and spiritual influences. Hebrew prayer, Sanskrit mantra, Celtic folk melody, Spanish lullaby, and English lyrics are woven together into a cohesive musical narrative.

These diverse traditions are not presented as separate musical excursions, but as connective threads within one larger story - creating an album that feels simultaneously ancient and contemporary, intimate and expansive, and most of all, whole. There is a transcendent "oneness" here.

An Extraordinary Gathering of Artists

Haynes is joined on Into The Light by an exceptional ensemble of musicians and vocalists, including David Vito Gregoli, MB Gordy, Jeralyn Glass, Jeff Oster, TJ Troy, Ben Leinbach, Darby Orr, Hans Christian, Tim Kelly, Prem Vidu, Manose Singh, and Angelo Metz.

The album's choir features Julia Fordham, Tina Malia, Quincy Coleman, Mary Isis, Mary Gospe, Ben Leinbach, David Vito Gregoli, Prem Vidu, and LumiZone (Alex Perez & Sidsel Ben Semmane). The album was mixed and mastered by Todd Boston.

Together, these artists help create the album's expansive sonic world - one in which orchestral textures, sacred traditions, world music, folk melodies, and cinematic soundscapes converge to tell a story that is universally significant.

The result is a musical work that will resonate not only with listeners who have experienced profound loss, but with anyone who has ever confronted change, cared deeply for another person, faced the unknown, or wondered how to move forward when the world they knew no longer exists. It is about the courage required to release someone we love. It is about discovering that grief and joy can exist in the same life, sometimes in the same moment. And it is about finding a way to keep moving without abandoning what came before.

Haynes, whose singing voice has never sounded better, has taken an intensely personal experience and created something that belongs to everyone.
